CHH2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CHH2100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CHH2100 molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 100-amp breaker designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection in electrical distribution systems operating at up to 240VAC. Built on the CHH frame platform, this breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit, meaning the trip characteristics are factory-configured as part of the breaker assembly for consistent protection. With an interrupting capacity of 100kA at 240VAC, the CHH2100 is intended for installations where high fault current protection is required. Molded case circuit breakers like the CHH2100 are commonly used in panelboards, switchboards, and industrial distribution equipment to protect circuits, feeders, and connected electrical components from overloads and short circuits. Built with durable internal components and a molded insulating housing, this breaker is designed for long service life in commercial and industrial environments while maintaining compatibility with equipment designed for the CHH frame format.
