BQ3D100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

BQ3D100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

The BQ3D100 is a 100-amp, 3-pole bolt-on circuit breaker used in compatible BQ electrical panels and distribution equipment. Rated for 240VAC, it is designed for three-phase applications where a 100-amp breaker is required. The common-trip design opens all three poles together during an overload or short circuit, and the bolt-on connection helps you keep the breaker securely mounted in the panel.

You'll find breakers like the BQ3D100 in schools, office buildings, warehouses, apartment complexes, and a wide range of commercial properties. It is commonly used on feeder circuits, HVAC equipment, motor loads, and general power distribution systems. With a 10kA interrupting rating and HACR certification, it meets the requirements of many existing installations that utilize BQ-frame equipment.

When replacing a breaker, matching the original specifications is important. The BQ3D100 is intended for applications that call for a 100-amp, 3-pole BQ breaker with a bolt-on mounting configuration.
