Description

Part of the legacy F-frame series, this 100-amp molded case circuit breaker provides essential long-time and instantaneous trip functions. It serves commercial facilities requiring robust overcurrent defense. The unit mount configuration fastens securely into compatible Square D control panels. Facilities looking to upgrade can transition to the modern PowerPact HGL36100 equivalent. Featuring a 65kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC, the HACR-rated device handles demanding fault conditions.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What is the difference between the Square D FHL36100 and the FAL36100?

Both are 100A, 3-pole, F-frame circuit breakers, but the FHL series features a higher interrupting capacity. The FHL36100 is rated at 25kAIC at 480VAC, whereas the standard FAL series is rated at 18kAIC at 480VAC.

What is the modern replacement for the legacy FHL36100 circuit breaker?

The FHL36100 is part of the legacy Square D F-frame series. The modern equivalent is the PowerPact H-frame series, such as the HGL36100. Note that upgrading to an H-frame may require mounting adapters or panel modifications.

Can the FHL36100 be installed in a Square D I-Line panelboard?

No. The FHL36100 is a unit mount, feed-thru breaker equipped with line and load lugs. It does not have the plug-on jaw connections required for I-Line panelboards.

Is the FHL36100 suitable for direct current (DC) systems?

Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC applications up to 250VDC, with a maximum interrupting rating of 10kAIC.

What wire sizes are compatible with the factory lugs on the FHL36100?

The standard lugs on this breaker accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. They are compatible with both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.

What type of protection does the LI trip function provide on this breaker?

The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. This means the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides dual-layer protection: a thermal delay for sustained overloads (Long-Time) and an immediate magnetic trip for short circuits (Instantaneous).
