Product FAQs
7 answers
What does the "AC" suffix mean in the FA26100AC catalog number?
The "AC" suffix specifies the physical phase arrangement of the I-Line plug-on jaws. It indicates that this two-pole breaker is factory-configured to connect exclusively to the A and C phases of the panelboard busbar system.
Which panelboards accept the FA26100AC breaker?
This breaker features a proprietary plug-on bracket designed strictly for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not compatible with NQ, NF, QMB, or standard residential load centers.
Is there a modern replacement for the legacy FA series I-Line breakers?
Yes. Schneider Electric has transitioned the legacy F-Frame series to the newer PowerPact B-Frame. A comparable B-Frame breaker with I-Line mounting (such as the BDA or BGA series) is the direct manufacturer-recommended alternative for F-Frame replacements.
Can the FA26100AC be reverse-fed?
Yes. Standard Square D thermal-magnetic F-Frame breakers do not feature "Line" and "Load" directional markings, meaning they can be safely reverse-fed. If used as a back-fed main in a panelboard, ensure it is properly secured and labeled per NEC guidelines.
Is the FA26100AC suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires HACR-type overcurrent protection.
Can I field-install a shunt trip or auxiliary switch in this breaker?
No. Internal electrical accessories like shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and undervoltage releases are not field-installable on legacy F-Frame circuit breakers. They must be ordered pre-installed from the factory, which is designated by an accessory suffix in the catalog number.
Does the FA26100AC require a specific mounting orientation?
No. Square D molded case circuit breakers can be mounted vertically or horizontally. The operating position does not affect the performance or calibration of the thermal-magnetic trip unit.

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.
