CAH2100X - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH2100X - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH2100X molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 100-amp breaker designed for dependable circuit protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the CAH frame platform, this breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit calibrated for consistent overcurrent protection at standard operating conditions up to 40°C. With a 22kA A.I.C. rating, it is well suited for commercial and industrial panels where interrupting capacity and code compliance matter. The compact molded case design helps ensure proper form, fit, and function when replacing an existing CAH frame breaker, making it a practical solution for maintaining or restoring service in compatible panelboards and switchgear. Load-side lugs are included for straightforward installation, helping reduce additional sourcing and jobsite delays.

Designed to meet the needs of electricians, facility maintenance teams, and electrical contractors, the CAH2100X provides reliable branch or feeder circuit protection while supporting continuity in established electrical systems. Its construction reflects the durable standards typical of molded case breakers built to last under normal operating conditions.
