Square D EDB26100 - 100 A, 600 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Square D EDB26100 is a 100 A, 600 V, 2‑pole bolt‑on molded case circuit breaker engineered for dependable branch‑circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. This device blends a solid bolt‑on mounting with a vibration‑resistant bus connection and a thermal‑magnetic trip unit to deliver stable, repeatable protection for demanding electrical systems.

Why this matters for your electrical system

• Rigid, bolt‑on mounting ensures a secure connection that resists vibration and panel movement, reducing the risk of loose contacts and intermittent trips.
• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit provides coordinated protection against both overloads and short circuits, helping to prevent wiring damage and equipment downtime.
• 2‑pole design isolates both hot legs, delivering reliable protection for multi‑wire branch circuits and ensuring safer operation in complex panel layouts.
• 600 V rating makes it suitable for commercial and light industrial environments where higher voltage circuits are present, while maintaining compatibility with common OEM load centers.
• OEM compatibility is designed to mesh with matching Square D loadcenters and panelboards, simplifying replacement and maintenance without sacrificing performance.
