Schneider Electric SFAL3100 100A 3-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

Built by Schneider Electric, the SFAL3100 100A 3-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker is engineered for dependable protection in three-phase electrical systems. Designed to guard feeders and equipment from overloads and short circuits, this unit delivers reliable performance where uptime matters—industrial panels, commercial distributions, and 3-phase motor circuits alike.

• Current rating: 100 A
• Poles: 3
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Part number: SFAL3100

Why the SFAL3100 stands out

Unlike generic breakers, the SFAL3100 is a Schneider Electric solution designed to integrate smoothly with Schneider Electric panels and distribution systems. Its 3-pole configuration provides synchronized protection across all three live conductors in a 3-phase setup, helping to prevent unbalanced loads and potential damage to motors and equipment. The 100 A rating is ideal for mid-size feeders and branch circuits, ensuring quick response to faults while supporting stable, continuous operation for everyday demand.

Ideal use cases

• Protect 3-phase motor feeders and equipment in commercial facilities, manufacturing floors, or HVAC installations on 240 V systems.
• Upgrade or replace aging protection in existing Schneider Electric panel boards to maintain consistent trip characteristics and coordinated protection with other breakers in the same family.
• Equip new 3-phase distribution layouts that require clear, reliable overcurrent protection at the 100 A level.

What problems this breaker solves

By delivering fast, predictable disconnection on overload or short-circuit events, the SFAL3100 helps minimize damage to wiring, controllers, and connected motors. Its three-pole design ensures all live conductors are simultaneously isolated, reducing the risk of residual fault paths and improving overall system safety and reliability in 3-phase power networks.

Installation and practical considerations

• Verify that your panel or distribution setup accommodates a 3-pole, 240 V breaker with a 100 A rating.
• Ensure the Part Number SFAL3100 matches the intended Schneider Electric protection strategy and that installation follows local electrical codes and manufacturer guidance.
• Plan for coordinated protection within the broader Schneider Electric ecosystem to maintain consistent trip curves and compatibility.

Choose the Schneider Electric SFAL3100 when you need robust, straightforward overcurrent protection for 3-phase, 240 V systems. It’s a practical choice for electricians and facilities teams seeking a reliable, consistent solution that aligns with established Schneider Electric distribution setups.
