FHL361008041 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

FHL361008041 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Built to deliver dependable power protection for residential, commercial, or light‑industrial electrical panels, this 3‑pole molded case circuit breaker meets the demands of modern electrical systems. It’s engineered for performance and consistency: with its 100‑amp rating, FHL frame design, and HACR thermal‑magnetic trip characteristics, this breaker is a smart choice when you need reliable overload and short‑circuit protection — without compromise.

Key Features and Benefits

• Three‑pole, 100 A capacity: Designed to manage significant 3‑phase electrical loads and provide balanced protection across all phases.
• High interrupting capacity (A.I.C.): Rated for 18,000 A at 600 VAC, 25,000 A at 480 VAC, and 65,000 A at 240 VAC. This ensures the breaker can safely interrupt fault currents in a wide range of electrical systems, enhancing safety and compliance.
• FHL frame type with molded-case construction: Offers a compact footprint and sturdy enclosure that simplifies installation while providing durable, long-term reliability.
• HACR-type, thermal‑magnetic trip unit: Built to handle HVAC, compressor, and general motor loads with dependable automatic response to overloads and short circuits.
• 60 Hz operation at 40 °C ambient: Reliable operation in standard power environments and well-suited for most residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.
