CE3100H – FEDERAL PIONEER 3P100A 600V 35kA BREAKER

The Federal Pioneer CE series breakers are considered obsolete or hard-to-find following Schneider Electric's acquisition of Federal Pioneer. Northern Breaker Group specializes in exactly these types of discontinued breakers — we maintain stock of legacy Federal Pioneer CE-frame units and can often source them when other suppliers cannot.

Yes, a 3-pole 100A 600V bolt-on MCCB like the CE3100H can serve as a main breaker or branch breaker in a compatible commercial or industrial panelboard, provided the panelboard is rated for 600V and accepts CE-frame bolt-on devices. Always verify with your panelboard manufacturer's documentation or consult your electrician to ensure compliance with local Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requirements.

The 35kA interrupting rating means the CE3100H can safely break a fault current of up to 35,000 amperes without damage or hazard. For most commercial and light industrial applications in Canada, 35kA is a common and adequate rating. However, for installations close to large utility transformers or with high available fault current, an arc-flash and short-circuit study should be performed by a qualified engineer to confirm the breaker's suitability.
