100 A amperage rating paired with a 10 kAIC interrupt level ensures strong protection for 3-phase feeders and motors. This combination minimizes arc flash risk and costly downtime by clearing faults quickly, making it ideal for motor starter panels and distribution blocks in manufacturing lines. The Quicklag thermal-magnetic mechanism blends thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit response, delivering selective coordination and faster fault isolation to reduce downstream outages. UL Listed and CSA Certified, with HACR rating, supports NEC compliance for motor-driven equipment in industrial facilities, panels, and cages. Bolt-on mounting and compact dimensions enable straightforward retrofits in existing enclosures, cutting installation time and enabling scalable protection across growing automation lines. Non-automatic, non-interchangeable trip characteristics simplify maintenance and ensure consistent protection without field recalibration. A 1 lb footprint translates to minimal enclosure impact while preserving reliability.

FAQs
Yes. The BAB3100N uses bolt-on mounting and a compact three-pole body, designed for straightforward retrofit into standard industrial enclosures. Ensure mounting rails and space accommodate the 2.9 inch depth and 3 inch width. This minimizes wiring rearrangements and reduces commissioning time while maintaining secure mechanical and electrical connections.
BAB3100N provides 100 A protection with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It is non-automatic and non-interchangeable, combining thermal overload with magnetic short-circuit protection (thermal-magnetic). This delivers reliable fault clearing for 3-phase 240 V circuits, reducing nuisance trips and enabling stable operation of motors and feeders in manufacturing environments.
Yes. With a 240 V rating and 3-pole configuration, the BAB3100N is well suited for protecting 3-phase motor circuits and associated control panels. Its HACR rating supports motor protection in building automation, while the 100 A setting matches typical medium-size motor feeders, balancing protection and accessibility for maintenance.
The BAB3100N is UL Listed and CSA Certified, with HACR rating noted for motor protection. These certifications help ensure compliance with NEC and related standards for industrial panels and equipment protection, supporting safer operation and faster material approvals during audits or inspections.
The unit’s non-automatic, non-interchangeable trip mechanism reduces calibration needs and field adjustments, simplifying ongoing maintenance. Its bolt-on mounting and compact form factor lower installation costs and time, while the 1-year warranty provides baseline support. Overall, predictable protection plus quick installation translates to reduced downtime and improved return on investment for automation projects.
