Schneider Electric BGL26100 100A 2-Pole 347 V Circuit Breaker

Reliably protect your high-voltage distribution with the Schneider Electric BGL26100 100A 2-Pole Circuit Breaker. Designed for 347 V systems, this 2-pole unit delivers precise, simultaneous interruption of both conductors to safeguard equipment and personnel in commercial and industrial environments.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 100 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 347 V
• Part number: BGL26100

Why this breaker stands out

In 347 V electrical networks, reliable overcurrent protection is essential for equipment like motors, feeders, and lighting circuits. The BGL26100 pairs a two-pole design with a 100 A capacity to ensure both hot legs disconnect together, reducing the risk of dangerous half-volt faults and protecting downstream wiring from damage due to short circuits or overloads.

Intended applications

• Industrial and commercial panels that operate on 347 V systems
• feeders and protected circuits up to 100 A in MCCs, switchboards, and distribution assemblies
• New installations or thoughtful upgrades where a robust, compatible two-pole breaker is needed

Installation, compatibility, and best practices

This breaker is designed to slot into compatible Schneider Electric panels and enclosures that support the BGL series. For best results, verify panel compatibility with the BGL26100 part number and follow standard electrical code requirements during installation. Always ensure power is isolated before servicing, and refer to the product manual for terminal torque and wiring guidelines.

Practical considerations and use cases

• Use case: protecting a 100 A feeder serving motors or heavy loads in a 347 V distribution network
• Upgrade scenario: replace older or undersized protection to meet current load demands and improve safety margins
• Maintenance: routine checks on wiring integrity and proper alignment within the panel ensure longevity and reliable tripping behavior

With the Schneider Electric BGL26100 100A 2-Pole Circuit Breaker, you gain precise, durable protection crafted for 347 V environments. It’s a purpose-built solution for safeguarding circuits, reducing downtime, and improving system reliability in demanding industrial settings.
