CAH3100W - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH3100W - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH3100W is a 3-pole, 100 amp molded case circuit breaker designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. Built on the CAH frame and rated for 22k A.I.C. at 240VAC, this breaker is well-suited for protecting feeders, branch circuits, and distribution panels that require reliable interruption capacity. With a non-interchangeable trip unit calibrated for operation at 40°C, the CAH3100W delivers consistent protection aligned with standard application environments. This model is supplied without lugs installed, allowing for configuration flexibility based on your specific installation requirements. Designed for proper form, fit, and function, it serves as a direct replacement option in compatible legacy systems where CAH frame breakers are specified.
