FH26100AC - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

FH26100AC - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FH26100AC from Schneider Electric is a high-performance 100 amp, two-pole, 600 V molded-case circuit breaker built for demanding electrical systems. Engineered with a thermal-magnetic trip unit and I-Line plug-in mounting, it protects critical panels, HVAC loads and distribution systems with precision and dependability. Whether you’re managing a commercial facility, industrial plant or service panel upgrade, this breaker delivers trusted protection while meeting environmental and safety compliance standards.

Key Features and Benefits

• Precise Protection: The thermal-magnetic trip unit gives fast response to both overloads and short circuits, helping safeguard wiring and equipment before damage occurs.
• Easy Installation: I-Line style plug-in mounting and lug-type line/load connections reduce install time and minimize downtime during replacements or retrofits.
• Versatile Application: With HACR (Heating, Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration) rating built in, this breaker works across HVAC, commercial and industrial systems with confidence.
• High Interrupting Capacity: It supports substantial fault clearing—65 kA at 240 V, 25 kA at 480 V and 18 kA at 600 V—providing strong protection under heavy fault-conditions.
• Durable Design: Engineered to perform reliably in the field, it supports long system life and reduces the chance of premature component failure.
