CAH3100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH3100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH3100 circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 100 amp molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Built on the CAH frame platform and rated for 22kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC, this breaker helps safeguard electrical equipment and branch circuits from overloads and short circuits. With a non-interchangeable trip unit calibrated for 40°C operation, the CAH3100 provides consistent thermal-magnetic protection in environments where stable, predictable performance is essential. Line- and load-side lugs are included, simplifying installation and ensuring proper conductor termination. Designed for form, fit, and functional replacement in compatible legacy systems, this unit is built to last and maintain the integrity of your existing electrical infrastructure.
