A reliable solution for commercial systems, the Square D FDA34100 is a 100-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It is part of the legacy F-Frame family, offering dependable overcurrent protection for demanding environments. This breaker is engineered to mount into Square D I-Line panelboards, ensuring a secure plug-on connection. While it remains a staple in many existing facilities, it is officially replaced by the HDA36100 model. It features a fixed LI trip and 18kAIC rating at 480V.
What type of panelboard is the FDA34100 compatible with?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit standard QO, NQ, or NF series panels.
Is the FDA34100 still in active production, or is there a direct replacement?
The FDA34100 is part of the legacy F-Frame series. For modern upgrades or direct replacements, Square D replaced this model with the PowerPact H-Frame series, specifically catalog number HDA36100.
How does the I-Line connection type mount into the panel?
The I-Line mounting style features a plug-on jaw connection that snaps directly onto the panelboard busbar, secured by a mounting bracket. This allows for faster installation without requiring extensive hardwiring on the line side.
What does the "LI" trip function code indicate on this breaker?
The "LI" code means the breaker is equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip unit providing Long-Time (L) overload protection and Instantaneous (I) short-circuit protection. Both the thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed on this model.
Are the load-side lugs included with the FDA34100?
Yes, this breaker comes standard with load-side lugs installed. They are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
Does the FDA34100 feature a visual trip indicator?
Yes, the breaker handle moves to a center tripped position when a fault occurs. This provides a clear visual indication that the circuit has been interrupted and requires attention before resetting.
