Schneider Electric BDL36100 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's BDL36100 is a PowerPact B-Frame molded case circuit breaker rated for 100 A in a 3‑pole configuration, designed for 600Y/347 VAC systems with a 14 kA interrupting capacity. This MCCB employs thermal‑magnetic protection and ships with line and load lugs for straightforward panel mounting; the 80% continuous‑load rating indicates it is intended for continuous service at up to 80% of its labeled current. As part of the PowerPact B family, the BDL36100 provides compact, dependable short‑circuit protection for distribution panels and industrial enclosures, with catalog number BDL36100 and variants such as LU for end‑of‑wire control wiring. A notable convenience feature on PowerPact B‑Frame units is an integral push‑to‑trip button under the cover for local trip verification, enhancing manual testing in field installations. This model is commonly used in commercial or light‑industrial electrical systems where three‑phase protection at 100 A is required, and it supports factory‑installed termination options described by suffixes in the catalog numbering.
