Q1-3100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q1-3100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Q1-3100 is a 100-amp, 3-pole Type Q1 circuit breaker designed for compatible electrical equipment that uses this breaker style. It features a plug-on connection, thermal-magnetic operation, and a 10 kA.I.C. rating at 240 VAC. For anyone maintaining an existing electrical system, the key is getting the match right. This breaker measures 6.38" high x 2.25" wide x 2.31" deep and requires six spaces, so those dimensions should be checked along with the electrical ratings before installation. The Q1-3100 is a sensible choice for replacement applications where the existing equipment calls for the same Type Q1 design, 100A rating, three poles, and plug-on configuration. It's built to last and, more importantly, built for a specific job. Always compare the breaker you're replacing, the equipment requirements, and the breaker's ratings to make sure everything lines up.

Key Features and Benefits

• 100A, 3-pole configuration for equipment designed around these specific electrical requirements.
• 10k A.I.C. at 240VAC rating.
• Thermal-magnetic operation provides circuit protection within the breaker's stated ratings.
• Plug-on design for compatible Type Q1 equipment.
• Six-space configuration, an important detail when checking fit.
• Clearly defined dimensions make it easier to compare with an existing breaker.
• A good fit for legacy electrical equipment that calls for the Q1-3100 specifications.
• Built to last when properly matched and used for its intended application.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Certification and material compliance details aren't included in the available specifications for this breaker. If a particular listing, certification, or material standard is required for the job, check the markings on the actual breaker and the applicable technical documentation rather than assuming compliance.

Where It Works Best

• The Q1-3100 circuit breaker is best suited for maintaining existing electrical systems that specifically use the Type Q1 plug-on breaker configuration. This is especially relevant when the goal is to replace a breaker while maintaining the equipment's original form, fit, and function.
• A few details are worth double-checking before installation: 100 amps, three-pole, 240 VAC, 10 kA I.C., six spaces, and the plug-on connection. The physical dimensions should also match the application.
• With older electrical equipment, a breaker looking like the right size isn't enough. The electrical ratings and connection type also need to match. When there's any question about compatibility, have a qualified electrical professional confirm the application.
