How it protects your system

By providing swift and predictable interruption of excessive current, the FAL3610018MG helps prevent insulation damage, reduces consequential equipment wear, and minimizes downtime from electrical faults. Its three-pole configuration ensures balanced protection across all phases, a critical factor in maintaining stability for motors, transformers, and other three-phase loads.

Installation and compatibility tips

• Verify that your panel and upstream wiring are rated for 600V and support a 3-pole, 100A breaker in the FAL series.
• Tighten mounting and connection terminals according to Schneider Electric’s torque specifications to ensure reliable operation.
• Use this breaker for three-phase circuits where coordinated protection and quick disconnection are essential for safety and reliability.
• Plan maintenance around typical cycling patterns of the protected loads to monitor for any irregular trip behavior or wear over time.

What to consider when choosing a breaker

If your application involves three-phase equipment or motors operating at up to 600V, the FAL3610018MG provides targeted protection with a form factor designed for dependable panel integration. Its 100A rating makes it suitable for mid-range distributions, balancing protection with efficiency in power delivery.
