HJL36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

HJL36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Looking for dependable protection in heavy-duty electrical systems? The PowerPacT HJL36100 delivers a high-performance 100 amp, three-pole circuit breaker with the precision and safety features you need for commercial and industrial installations. With both thermal and magnetic trip mechanisms built in, this breaker detects overloads and short circuits fast — keeping your system secure and minimizing downtime. Its versatile mounting style with lugs on both line and load sides makes installation straightforward, and dual-break rotating contacts reduce peak fault current for added system safety.

Key Features and Benefits

• High fault-current resistance: Rated to break up to 25 kA at 600 V AC, 65 kA at 480 V AC and 100 kA at 240 V AC — giving you strong protection against large fault events.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit response, so your system is safeguarded across a wide range of threats.
• Flexible installation: Unit-mount connections, plus lugs on both the line and load sides, make it easy to adapt into many different setups and switchgear racks.
• Dual-break rotating contacts: These help reduce the peak current during a fault, improving system safety and lowering stress on the surrounding infrastructure.
• Designed for demanding environments: Built with commercial/industrial needs in mind — durable, reliable, and service-ready.
