Serving as a robust commercial safeguard, this 100A molded case circuit breaker delivers fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions. It installs into Square D I-Line panelboards, utilizing a specialized mounting bracket for secure phase connections. Featuring a 10kAIC rating at 240VAC and a highly visible Visi-Trip indicator, the unit ensures rapid troubleshooting. For modern upgrades, engineers frequently cross-reference this legacy component with the newer HDA36100 replacement model.
Can I install the FA32100 circuit breaker in a standard lug-fed distribution panel?
No. The FA32100 is built with an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side. It is engineered exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards and will not interchange with standard lug-to-lug distribution panels.
How much mounting space does the FA32100 require on an I-Line bus?
This 3-pole F-frame breaker requires 4.5 inches of vertical mounting space on an I-Line bus, as each pole occupies 1.5 inches of bus width.
What is the required tightening torque for the load lugs on the FA32100?
When landing 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors in the standard AL100FA mechanical lugs, torque the connections to 50 lb-in (5.6 N.m) to ensure proper contact and prevent overheating.
What are the current replacement options for the legacy FA32100 breaker?
The FA32100 is a legacy F-frame component. For modern panel upgrades, Schneider Electric frequently recommends crossing this to the newer PowerPact B-frame (such as the BDA34100Y) or PowerPact H-frame (such as the HDA36100) I-Line circuit breakers.
How do I verify the mechanical trip operation of the FA32100?
I-Line molded case circuit breakers feature a standard push-to-trip button on the faceplate. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to confirm the mechanical linkage operates correctly and to safely test auxiliary devices prior to servicing.
What does the 10kAIC interrupting rating mean for installing the FA32100?
The 10kAIC rating indicates the breaker can safely interrupt up to 10,000 amps of fault current at 240VAC. You must verify that the available short-circuit current at the panelboard location does not exceed this limit to ensure safe operation.

Great company
Ordered on a Saturday evening, paid for two day shipping and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. Would 100 percent be using this company going forward, beat out pricing and shipping times for all my local supply houses. Plus the staff were great to deal with.

Professional Service
So far, so good! The circuit breaker was installed along with a new compressor for our church AC, and everything is now working well.
The company has been professional, dependable, and reputable throughout the process. I had a question after the installation, and it was answered immediately. I also appreciated that they followed up and asked for feedback to make sure the new part was working properly and that we were satisfied with the service.
It’s refreshing to deal with a company that not only has quality products but also cares about its customers after the job is completed. I would definitely recommend them!

As good as new
The Square D FA32100 circuit breaker (refurbished) was as good as a new breaker, without exception. There was no wear and tear or any marks at all. It was basically new. It is an excellent choice and a great product without having to pay the cost of a new breaker.
