CHB2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CHB2100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CHB2100 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 100 amp bolt-on breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the CHB frame platform, this breaker is engineered for form, fit, and functional replacement in compatible panelboards and load centers. With a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, the CHB2100 helps protect branch circuits and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits while maintaining proper coordination within legacy electrical systems. Its bolt-on mounting design ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection to the panelboard bus, making it a practical solution for commercial and industrial applications where consistent performance and compatibility matter. Manufactured to meet industry standards for molded case circuit breakers, the CHB2100 is built to last and suited for professionals who require dependable circuit protection without unnecessary complexity.
