Siemens NGB3B100B - 100 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Siemens NGB3B100B is a 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker rated at 100 A and 600 V, engineered to deliver reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for branch circuits in panelboards and loadcenters.

Designed for hard-wearing environments where bus connections must stay solid, the bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant connection to the bus bars, minimizing connection faults and ensuring consistent operation over time.

What makes it unique

• Secure bolt-on mounting: Creates a stable, vibration-resistant connection to the panel’s bus system, reducing contact wear and unwanted trips in noisy electrical environments.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Delivers stable, repeatable protection by quickly responding to overloads (thermal) and short circuits (magnetic), helping prevent equipment damage.
• 3-pole design for synchronized protection: Ensures all three phases are protected simultaneously, essential for balanced loads and safe operation of 3-phase circuits.
• OEM-compatible: Specifically designed to be compatible with matching Siemens OEM loadcenters and panelboards, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and electrical continuity.
• Versatile application: Suitable for residential, commercial, and light-industrial installations requiring dependable branch circuit protection up to 100 A at 600 V.
