CA2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2100 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 100-amp molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame with a non-interchangeable trip unit, this breaker is engineered for consistent thermal-magnetic performance in commercial and industrial panelboards and load centers operating at 40°C. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating, the CA2100 helps protect branch circuits and feeder applications from overloads and short circuits while maintaining proper form, fit, and function for compatible legacy systems. Line- and load-side lugs are included, helping simplify installation and ensuring secure conductor termination. Designed to be built to last, this breaker provides a straightforward, code-aligned solution when maintaining or servicing existing electrical infrastructure.
