CAH2200Y - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH2200Y - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH2200Y is a 2-pole, 200 amp molded case circuit breaker built for 120/240VAC distribution systems that require dependable overcurrent protection. Designed on the CAH frame platform, this breaker carries a 22kA interrupting rating, making it suitable for systems where available fault current demands that level of protection. It features a non-interchangeable trip unit that is factory-set to match the breaker’s rating, helping maintain the original protection scheme of the equipment it serves. Line-side lugs are included for secure conductor termination. Built for operation in 40°C environments, the CAH2200Y is commonly used in commercial and industrial panelboards and switchgear where matching the existing frame type and ratings is essential. Like other molded case breakers in this class, it is built to last and intended for long-term service in established electrical systems.
