CA2100W - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2100W - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2100W molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 100-amp 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 to provide consistent thermal-magnetic protection in commercial and industrial panels. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating at 120/240VAC, the CA2100W is well-suited for applications where proper fault interruption capacity and code-compliant protection are required. Designed for operation in environments rated up to 40°C, this unit delivers the form, fit, and function needed for maintaining or restoring compatible legacy systems. Please note that no lugs are installed, allowing flexibility based on specific installation requirements. This molded case circuit breaker is built to last and provides the dependable circuit protection professionals expect when servicing existing panelboards and distribution equipment that utilize CA frame breakers.
