Engineered for industrial applications, the Square D FA24100BC is a 2-pole, 100A molded case circuit breaker with a phase BC connection. It provides reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection for commercial electrical systems. This F-Frame breaker installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. As a legacy component, it serves as a direct cross-reference for older installations, though it has been officially replaced by the newer HDA261004 model.
What does the "BC" suffix mean in the FA24100BC catalog number?
The "BC" suffix indicates the specific busbar phase connection. This 2-pole breaker is factory-configured with jaws that connect exclusively to the B and C phases of a Square D I-Line panelboard.
Can I install the FA24100BC in a standard Square D QO or NF panelboard?
No. This breaker features an I-Line plug-on mounting style. It is only compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, and will not fit in QO, NF, or NQ panels.
Is the FA24100BC still an active product line?
The FA series is a legacy F-Frame breaker. For modern installations or direct replacements, Square D has transitioned to the PowerPact H-Frame series. The direct crossover for this specific model is the PowerPact HDA261004.
Will a newer PowerPact H-Frame replacement fit in my older I-Line panelboard?
Yes. Square D designed the modern PowerPact H-Frame breakers to be backward compatible with legacy I-Line panelboards, allowing you to safely upgrade from older F-Frame models without replacing the entire enclosure.
What type of wire can I use with the FA24100BC lugs?
The factory-installed lugs are dual-rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors. They accept wire sizes ranging from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG.
Are the trip settings on the FA24100BC adjustable?
No. This breaker uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time (thermal) overload protection and the instantaneous (magnetic) short-circuit protection are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
How is the line side connection made on this breaker?
The line side connection is made automatically when the breaker is mounted. The built-in I-Line jaws plug directly onto the panelboard busbar, eliminating the need for line side wiring or cables.

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.
