FC34100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

FC34100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker, matching the electrical and physical specifications is just as important as selecting the correct amperage. Before installing the FC34100, verify the catalog (part) number, breaker type, frame, amperage, number of poles, voltage rating, interrupt rating (A.I.C.), dimensions, and terminal configuration to ensure compatibility with your existing electrical distribution system. Taking these steps helps maintain the original design and supports a proper replacement without unnecessary modifications.
