Product FAQs
8 answersWhat does the "SA" suffix indicate on the BDL36100SA catalog number?
The "SA" suffix indicates that this circuit breaker comes with a factory-installed 110/130VAC shunt trip.
Can the BDL36100SA be used to replace older Square D F-frame breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame is the modern replacement for legacy Square D F-frame breakers. Specifically, the BDL36100SA is the direct replacement for the FAL361001021, which was a 100A, 3-pole FAL breaker equipped with a 120VAC shunt trip.
What type of wire terminals are included on this breaker?
The BDL36100SA features EverLink lugs on both the line and load ends. EverLink is a patented lug design that combats cable creep and maintains a durable, long-term connection without the need for periodic retightening. The lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.

Yes, this unit-mount breaker features integrated DIN rail mounting capability for standard 35 x 15 mm symmetrical DIN rails, in addition to traditional back-pan mounting with screws.
Is the BDL36100SA rated for 100 percent continuous current?
No, this circuit breaker has a standard 80 percent continuous current rating.
How does the PowerPacT B-frame handle short-circuit faults?
PowerPacT B-frame breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts. This design reduces the amount of peak current and let-through energy during a short-circuit fault, which enhances downstream equipment protection.
What types of equipment is this breaker designed for?
The BDL36100SA is designed for use in industrial control panels, commercial switchboards, and motor control centers.
Are the trip settings on the BDL36100SA adjustable?
No, this breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings for its Long-Time and Instantaneous protection functions.
