The Square D EDB26100 is a 2 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 100 Amps and a voltage rating of 600Y/347VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 25kAIC at 240VAC, 14kAIC at 600Y/347VAC. The EDB26100 has a bolt-on mounting type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
What panelboards are compatible with the Square D EDB26100 circuit breaker?
The EDB26100 is an E-frame bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for use in Square D NF series panelboards. It is not compatible with NQ, QO, or Homeline load centers.
What are the recommended lug tightening torque specifications for this 100A breaker?
For 14 AWG to 10 AWG wire, tighten the lugs to 34.5 lb-in (3.9 N.m). For larger 8 AWG to 2/0 AWG wire, tighten to 49.6 lb-in (5.6 N.m). Always use a calibrated torque tool for proper installation.
What are the hold and trip current values for the EDB26100 magnetic trip unit?
The thermal magnetic trip unit has a holding current of 270A and a guaranteed trip current of 875A.
Are there higher interrupting capacity alternatives to the EDB26100?
Yes. If your system requires a higher fault current rating, the EGB26100 and EJB26100 offer higher interrupting capacities while maintaining the exact same physical footprint for NF panelboards.
Is the EDB26100 suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, this E-frame circuit breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting motor circuits in HVAC and refrigeration applications.
Can this 2-pole breaker be used for high-intensity discharge lighting circuits?
Yes, the EDB26100 is HID rated, meaning it is tested and approved to handle the high inrush currents typical of high-intensity discharge lighting systems.
Does the EDB26100 include a trip indicator?
Yes, this breaker features a visual trip indicator that provides a clear signal when the breaker has tripped, allowing for faster troubleshooting in the panelboard.
Can the EDB26100 be used in 480Y/277V systems?
Yes. While it has a maximum voltage rating of 600Y/347VAC, it is fully compatible with 480Y/277VAC and 240VAC systems. The interrupting capacity increases when applied at these lower system voltages.
What is the maximum ambient operating temperature for the EDB26100?
This circuit breaker is calibrated for operation in a 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient environment.
