B-LINE FB2100PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the interrupting rating on the Eaton FB2100PL breaker, and can I use it on a 600V system?
The FB2100PL is rated 600 Vac and 250 Vdc, with an interrupting rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 100 kAIC at 250 Vdc. That very high AIC comes from the current limiters supplied with the breaker, so it suits high available fault current services where a standard F-frame would not hold up.
2) Is the FB2100PL a complete breaker or just a trip unit I add to an existing frame?
It ships as a complete breaker, F-frame, FB type, with line and load terminals. There is no separate frame or trip unit to order, the thermal-magnetic trip is built in at 100A.
3) Why does this two-pole Eaton FB breaker look like it takes three poles of panel space?
Two-pole FB breakers are built in a 3-pole frame with the current carrying parts omitted from the center pole. So it occupies the footprint of a three-pole device, about 6 in by 4.125 in by 1 in, even though only two poles are live. Plan your panel or enclosure space accordingly.
4) Do I need to buy current limiters separately for the Eaton FB2100PL?
No. Current limiters are included with the breaker, and they are replaceable, so after a high-fault event you swap the limiter rather than the whole breaker.
5) Is the 100A rating on the FB2100PL fixed, or is it adjustable?
The trip on this unit is factory set at 100A. The 15-100A figure is the range the FB frame covers across the family, not a field adjustment, so if you need a lower setting you order a different FB catalog number rather than dialing this one down.
6) Will a thermal-magnetic FB breaker work for motor feeder protection, or do I need an electronic trip?
The FB2100PL uses a thermal-magnetic trip, which handles ordinary inrush on feeders and typical motor loads through its fixed instantaneous and thermal characteristics. If your coordination study calls for adjustable long-time, short-time or ground fault settings, a thermal-magnetic unit will not give you those and you want an electronic-trip breaker instead.
7) Can the FB2100PL be fed from either end, or is line and load orientation fixed?
The breaker is supplied with line and load terminals, so terminations are provided at both ends for a standard feed-through installation at 100A. Follow the terminal markings when landing conductors.
