Eaton Specification Sheet - BAB3100HI
Quicklag industrial thermal-magnetic mechanism provides precise overcurrent protection. This improves fault selectivity and reduces nuisance trips, translating to higher line uptime and lower maintenance costs. It is ideal for 240 V three-phase distribution panels in manufacturing lines and process equipment. The 100 A amperage rating with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating ensures robust fault clearing for medium-load feeders, while bolt-on mounting simplifies retrofit and field installation in existing panels, reducing installation time and panel downtime. Shunt trip capability (120-240 V) enables remote emergency shutdown, enhancing overall plant safety and compliance. HACR rating and third-party UL Listed and CSA Certified status provide regulatory confidence for HVAC and general industrial applications. The compact footprint (3 in x 3 in) and 0.9 lb weight support scalable panel design with minimal space impact. A 1-year warranty offers peace of mind for maintenance planning and service contracts.
