Built to handle substantial power demands, the 100A FAL34100 utilizes proven thermal-magnetic technology for circuit protection. The three-pole configuration delivers precise trip responses. This unit-mount device fastens into Square D panelboards, switchboards, and standalone enclosures. While it serves as a reliable replacement for legacy F-Frame installations, the BDL36100 is the designated substitute. Maintenance teams benefit from the signature Visi-Trip indicator.

Product FAQs
6 answers
Can the FAL34100 circuit breaker be installed in an I-Line panelboard?
No. The FAL34100 is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker equipped with standard line and load lugs. It lacks the plug-on jaw connectors required to mount into Square D I-Line distribution panelboards.
Are the terminal lugs on the FAL34100 rated for both copper and aluminum wiring?
Yes. The standard factory lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. The accepted wire range is 14 to 1/0 AWG for copper, and 12 to 1/0 AWG for aluminum.
Is there a modern replacement for the legacy Square D FAL34100 F-Frame breaker?
Yes. Schneider Electric designates the PowerPact B-Frame series as the direct modern replacement for obsolete 100-amp F-Frame circuit breakers.
Can the FAL34100 be utilized in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes. In addition to standard AC applications, this breaker is rated to interrupt 10kA at 250VDC, making it suitable for specialized direct current loads.
Does the FAL34100 offer adjustable trip settings?
No. This breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous (LI) trip curves. It cannot be adjusted or calibrated in the field.
Is the FAL34100 suitable for HVAC installations requiring a HACR rating?
Yes. The FAL34100 is UL listed as HACR rated, making it suitable for use with group motor applications typically found in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
