Eaton FDC2100L - 100 A, 600 V, 2-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton FDC2100L—a 2-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to deliver unwavering protection for your electrical distribution. Rated at 100 A and up to 600 V, this unit is built to reliably guard branch circuits in panelboards and load centers, keeping devices and occupants safer while reducing downtime from nuisance trips.

Key advantages that matter in real-world installations

• Compact molded case design maximizes panel space, making it easier to fit multiple circuits in tight panels without sacrificing performance.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit protection, delivering stable, repeatable protection that reacts quickly to faults.
• 2-pole, common-trip configuration ensures balanced protection across both conductors and simplifies safe shutdown procedures.
• OEM loadcenter and panelboard compatibility designed to align with matching Eaton systems for straightforward installation and reliable operation.
• Versatile applications ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments requiring dependable branch circuit protection.

Use cases and practical benefits

In a residential panel, the FDC2100L is a solid choice for protecting hard-wired circuits that feed critical loads—think heating, cooling, water heaters, and household sub-panels—where space is at a premium and reliable protection matters. In commercial and light industrial settings, it helps safeguard branch circuits feeding offices, lighting, and small machinery, offering:

• Enhanced protection against short circuits with rapid magnetic tripping
• Consistent performance over a wide range of ambient conditions thanks to the thermal-magnetic design
• Simple integration with existing Eaton panelboards and loadcenters for streamlined upgrades or replacements

Installation and compatibility tips

Ensure you select a breaker that matches your Eaton panelboard or loadcenter family for optimal alignment with bus stabs and mounting hardware. When replacing an existing device, verify that the replacement is the same type (thermal-magnetic molded case) and maintains a like-for-like amperage rating to preserve protective coordination within the panel. For best results, torque terminals according to manufacturer guidelines and confirm that the 2-pole, common-trip configuration aligns with your panel's design.

Why choose the Eaton FDC2100L

The FDC2100L is purpose-built for reliability in real-world electrical systems. Its compact form factor saves panel space, while the dual-mode trip mechanism delivers dependable protection against both overloads and faults. If you need a rugged, compatible, and space-efficient solution for 100 A branch circuit protection up to 600 V, this 2-pole molded case breaker is a practical, long-term choice that aligns with Eaton’s panelboard ecosystems and professional install requirements.
