KAL36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

KAL36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

With the KAL36100, you have several concrete details to compare with the breaker already in place. This 100-amp, three-pole Type KAL molded case circuit breaker uses thermal-magnetic protection and is specified for 60 Hz operation with a 40°C rating. The KAL36100 is built to last, and proper selection should focus on matching its Type KAL designation, amperage, pole count, electrical ratings, connections, and dimensions to the existing equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• 100A current rating: Clearly identifies the amperage when checking compatibility with an existing installation.
• Three-pole design: Provides the specified three-pole configuration for equipment requiring this arrangement.
• Type KAL: An important identifier when matching a replacement to compatible existing or legacy equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Uses the specified thermal-magnetic trip design.
• Line and load lugs included: Both connection sides are supplied with lugs, providing a defined connection setup for comparison with the existing breaker.
• 60 Hz operation: Provides another specific electrical characteristic to verify before installation.
• 40°C rating: Clearly stated temperature rating for compatibility checks.

Material Compliance and Certifications

No specific UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, REACH, or other material compliance or certification information was provided for the KAL36100. These certifications should not be assumed from the Type KAL designation or the electrical specifications. If a particular approval or compliance standard is required for the installation, verify it for this exact part number before use.

Where It Works Best

The KAL36100 100A 3-pole circuit breaker is best suited for compatible existing and legacy electrical equipment that requires the same Type KAL molded case circuit breaker characteristics. Its included line and load lugs, thermal-magnetic protection, three-pole arrangement, and clearly defined physical footprint provide useful checkpoints when evaluating a form, fit, and functional replacement.

Before installation, compare the complete specifications with the requirements of the equipment already in service. In particular, verify the 100A rating, three poles, KAL type, 60 Hz frequency, 40°C rating, interrupting capacity at the applicable voltage, lug arrangement, and physical dimensions. This helps keep the replacement decision based on actual compatibility rather than amperage alone.
