The 100 A amperage rating paired with a 6 kAIC interrupt capability provides robust protection for high-current circuits while maintaining selectivity to minimize unintended outages. This translates to measurable uptime improvements in manufacturing lines and packaging systems, especially where heavy start-up loads are common. The BAB3100HE operates at 240/415 V, making it suitable for typical three-phase power layouts in control panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards, and it helps engineers meet code requirements without oversizing components. Bolt-on mounting simplifies field installation, reducing labor cost and the potential for wiring errors during retrofit projects. The three-pole configuration supports true three-phase protection, improving phase balance and safeguarding motors and drives from transient faults. Certified and HACR rated, it strengthens compliance while limiting lifecycle risk and maintenance downtime. Weighing just 0.5 lb with compact dimensions (5 in length, 3 in width, 1 in height), it fits tight panel spaces and enables faster upgrades in retrofit projects. In practice, this means lower total cost of ownership, easier spare-part planning, and more predictable protection in critical lines. Compatibility with common Eaton accessories and standard mounting patterns also accelerates installation across a wide range of panels and machines.
