Built for commercial power systems, the Square D FH36100 provides 100A of reliable overcurrent defense as part of the legacy F-Frame series. It mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards via a secure plug-on connection. While ideal for existing panels, the HGA36100 serves as its modern replacement. Equipped with fixed thermal-magnetic trip units, it provides standard LI protection. It carries a 25kAIC rating at 480VAC and features a Visi-Trip indicator.
What types of panelboards accept the FH36100 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D (Schneider Electric) I-Line power distribution panelboards and switchboards. The unique plug-on jaw connection mounts directly to the I-Line bus system.
How much bus space does this breaker require in an I-Line panel?
As a 3-pole F-Frame I-Line breaker, the FH36100 requires 4.5 inches of vertical mounting space on the panelboard bus (1.5 inches per pole).
Has the legacy FH36100 been replaced by a newer model?
Yes, the legacy F-Frame breakers have been largely superseded by the modern PowerPact H-Frame series, such as the HDA36100 or HJA36100. These H-Frame replacements occupy the same 4.5 inches of I-Line bus space for easy retrofitting.
Can the FH36100 be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing up to 10kA of interrupting capacity.
Is the FH36100 HACR rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for group motor protection in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
What are the acceptable wire sizes for the factory lugs?
The standard load-side lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper wire, or 12 AWG to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.
Do I need a separate mounting kit to install this breaker?
No, the I-Line style plug-in connection features built-in blow-on jaws that attach directly to the panelboard bus. No additional mounting hardware kits are required.
Does this breaker feature a tripped-status indicator?
Yes, it includes Square D's Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, the handle snaps to a center position and a high-visibility red indicator appears, making it easy to identify the tripped circuit.
