Description
Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the FAL360302100 provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection. This 3-pole, 30A unit mount breaker installs into Square D enclosures, control panels, and switchboards. For modern upgrades, it is replaced by the HGL36030, which requires a separate bell alarm and retrofit kit. Rated for 25kAIC at 240VAC, it features fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions alongside a factory-installed alarm switch for fault indication.Specifications

Product FAQs
8 answersWhat does the 2100 suffix indicate on the FAL360302100 catalog number?
The 2100 suffix designates a factory-installed alarm switch. The base circuit breaker is a standard 30A, 3-pole FAL36030.
What type of panels will accept the FAL360302100 breaker?
This legacy F-frame breaker is designed for unit mounting in compatible Square D enclosures, control panels, and switchboards. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards, which require plug-on brackets.
What are the wire gauge requirements for the terminal lugs?
The feed-thru lugs accept 14 to 4 AWG copper conductors or 12 to 4 AWG aluminum conductors. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Is the FAL360302100 suitable for DC voltage systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific industrial DC control circuits.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
No, the FAL360302100 features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What is the difference between this unit mount breaker and an I-Line breaker?
The FAL360302100 is a unit mount, feed-thru breaker that bolts directly to a backpan or mounting plate and uses lugs on both the line and load sides. I-Line breakers feature a plug-on jaw connection for the line side to attach directly to a panelboard bus.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FAL series breakers?
The Square D FAL series is a legacy F-frame product. For new installations or facility upgrades, Schneider Electric typically recommends the PowerPact H-frame series as the modern equivalent.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or equipment protection?
No, the FAL360302100 provides standard thermal magnetic overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include integral ground fault equipment protection or personnel protection.
