Schneider Electric | C101N-100A | Circuit Breaker | 100A | 4-Pole | 690V

Meet Schneider Electric's C101N-100A — a robust 4-Pole circuit breaker engineered for demanding industrial environments. With a 100A rating and a 690V maximum, it delivers precise protection for complex power distribution, making it ideal for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where exact specs matter. The 4-pole configuration ensures all three phases and the neutral are simultaneously disconnected for safer, more reliable shutdowns.

Key specifications

• Part number: C101N-100A
• Amperage: 100 A
• Poles: 4-Pole
• Voltage rating: 690 V

Note: Confirm fit and ratings before ordering. The part number is the best reference for compatibility, ensuring the correct trip characteristics, mounting footprint, and accessory alignment within Schneider Electric panels and switchgear.

Why it matters

• Reliable protection for mid‑range feeders in industrial plants powered by three-phase systems with a neutral.
• The 690V rating expands usability into higher-voltage distribution panels, MCCs, and switchgear setups that require robust isolation.
• 4-pole design safeguards all conductors, improving safety during fault conditions and simplifying compliance with electrical codes.
• Schneider Electric engineering means consistent performance and compatibility with the broader Schneider ecosystem, reducing integration risk during retrofit or upgrades.

Ideal use scenarios

• Maintenance and retrofit of existing electrical panels where the C101N-100A matches the original spec.
• Replacement in motor control centers (MCCs) and switchgear packages needing reliable 100A protection at 690V.
• Upgrades to expand capacity or restore protective coordination in industrial facilities, data centers, or manufacturing lines.

Practical considerations and tips

Before ordering, verify that the existing installation matches the C101N-100A configuration and that the panel’s bus, termination method, and mounting style align with the unit. When replacing, inspect the breakers’ trip curves and ensure any control wiring, shunt trips, and accessories are compatible with the new device. Keeping a small inventory of exact part numbers like C101N-100A can minimize downtime during maintenance windows.
