Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the -2100 suffix indicate on the FH36020-2100 catalog number?
The -2100 suffix designates that this circuit breaker includes a factory-installed bell alarm. This internal contact switch provides remote indication when the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit.
Can the FH36020-2100 be installed in standard bolt-on panelboards?
No. This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection designed exclusively for Square D I-Line power distribution panelboards and switchboards. It cannot be installed in standard bolt-on enclosures or residential load centers.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on the FH36020-2100?
No. This breaker utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the Long-Time thermal overload protection and Instantaneous magnetic short-circuit protection are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What are the wire size requirements for the FH36020-2100 terminals?
The factory-installed lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors, accepting wire sizes from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. Ensure all connections are torqued to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker label.
Can the FH36020-2100 be applied in DC voltage systems?
Yes. In addition to its AC ratings, this F-frame breaker is rated for use on DC systems up to 250V DC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Does the bell alarm on the FH36020-2100 activate during manual switching?
No. The factory-installed bell alarm, indicated by the -2100 suffix, only changes state when the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit. It does not activate when the breaker handle is manually toggled on or off.
