CAH2100W - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH2100W - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH2100W molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 100 amp thermal-magnetic breaker designed for dependable circuit protection in 120/240VAC distribution systems. Built on the CAH frame, this breaker provides a 22kA A.I.C. rating, making it suitable for commercial and industrial electrical panels where fault current capacity is a critical requirement. Designed for operation at 40°C, the CAH2100W features a non-interchangeable trip unit calibrated for consistent overcurrent protection. It is supplied without lugs installed, allowing compatibility with applications requiring specific termination configurations. Constructed as a durable molded case circuit breaker, it is built to last and intended to provide reliable protection in existing electrical systems where CAH frame breakers are specified. Whether you are maintaining facility infrastructure, servicing panelboards, or replacing an existing breaker with matching ratings and dimensions, the CAH2100W offers the proper form, fit, and function required for legacy and established electrical distribution setups.
