Schneider Electric FAL3610018M Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric Square D FAL3610018M is a three-pole molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) in the Mag-Gard motor protection family, rated for 100 A and 600 VAC to safeguard motors and feeders in industrial equipment and motor-control centers. This magnetic‑only device provides instantaneous short‑circuit protection, interrupting fault current up to 18 kA at 480 VAC, and it weighs about 6 pounds, making it suitable for bucket installations and panel mounting in demanding environments. The FAL3610018M is a legacy Square D/Mag-Gard protector, available in feed‑through configurations in some applications, and it can be cross‑referenced to replacements such as HJL36100M73 when upgrading equipment. As a 3P MCCB, it delivers solid motor protection without requiring a separate overload relay in certain installations, aligning with common industrial practices for drives, pumps, and fans where reliable magnetic protection at a fixed 100 A rating is needed. The part number identifies a 100 A, 3‑pole unit from the FAL line, a component of Schneider Electric’s motor‑protective device portfolio engineered for robust, high‑reliability protection in harsh industrial environments.
