BGA36100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

BGA36100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BGA36100 is a 100 amp, 3-pole PowerPacT B circuit breaker designed for your commercial and industrial electrical systems. It provides thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits and is made to fit I-Line panelboards. Its compact B-frame design allows it to be installed in spaces where panel room is limited while still meeting the necessary ratings for three-phase systems.

The breaker includes ABC phase connections, line-side I-Line terminations, and load-side mechanical lugs for secure and straightforward installation. Dual-break rotating contacts reduce peak current during short-circuit events, and the push-to-trip button allows technicians to manually test the breaker during maintenance or inspections. Rated for up to 525VAC, it can handle interrupting currents up to 65kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 600Y/347VAC.
