Eaton FDB2100 - 100A, 2-Pole, Circuit Breaker

Meet the Eaton FDB2100 — a robust 100A, 2-pole circuit breaker engineered to safeguard electrical systems in demanding environments. Built by Eaton, a trusted name in power management, this model delivers reliable overcurrent protection for feeders and branch circuits inside distribution panels and motor control centers.

Designed for versatility, the FDB2100 fits panelboards, switchboards, and control panels across industrial, commercial, and OEM applications. The 2-pole configuration ensures both conductors disconnect together, reducing arc risk and improving safety in 240V circuits and multi-line installations.

Ideal use cases

• Industrial facilities with heavy equipment and automated lines that require dependable protection for feeders up to 100 A.
• Commercial buildings with complex distribution networks needing a compact, reliable safeguard for multiple circuits within panelboards and switchgear.
• OEM environments where control panels and motor control centers demand a proven, compatible 2-pole breaker for safe, coordinated protection.

What makes it stand out

• 100 A current rating provides targeted protection for circuits and equipment without oversizing protection that could cause nuisance trips.
• Two-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnection of both conductors, enhancing safety during maintenance and meeting common code expectations for dual-leg systems.
• Versatile deployment—works across panelboards, switchboards, and control panels in a wide range of industries, from manufacturing floors to critical facility rooms.

In real-world scenarios, the Eaton FDB2100 serves as the protective backbone for a 2-pole 240V motor drive circuit, a feeder in a compact control panel, or the main protection in a small-to-medium distribution panel. When paired with other Eaton protection devices, it contributes to a cohesive, coordinated protection strategy across your electrical infrastructure.
