HGL36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGL36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HGL36100 is a 100A, 3-pole PowerPacT H circuit breaker made for electrical distribution systems that need reliable thermal-magnetic protection without unnecessary complexity. Dual-break rotating contacts help reduce peak current during a short-circuit fault, and the push-to-trip button on the cover gives qualified personnel a simple way to manually trip the breaker during testing or service. The AL150HD terminals accept 14 AWG through 3/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors, while the breaker carries an 80% continuous-current rating and is HACR rated. If you're matching a replacement breaker, the HGL36100 gives you a very specific checklist to work from: 100 amps, three poles, thermal-magnetic trip, 18 kA at 600VAC, unit-mount construction, and line/load lugs.

Key Features and Benefits

• 100A, 3-pole design for compatible three-pole distribution applications.
• Thermal-magnetic trip protection handles overload and short-circuit conditions.
• Mechanical lugs on both sides for a direct unit-mount connection.
• Dual-break rotating contacts help reduce peak current during fault conditions.
• Push-to-trip button gives qualified personnel a convenient manual trip function.
• 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG conductor range supports copper or aluminum wiring.
• 80% continuous-current rating for systems designed around that duty level.
