CHH2100H4 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CHH2100H4 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CHH2100H4 molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 100-amp breaker designed for use in electrical distribution systems that operate at 240VAC with an interrupting capacity of 42kA. Built on the CHH4 frame, this breaker is commonly used in commercial and industrial panels where matching the original specifications is important. It features a non-interchangeable trip unit, meaning the trip mechanism is built directly into the breaker and set at the factory. This configuration helps maintain consistent protection for wiring and connected equipment in systems that depend on this particular breaker style.

Molded case circuit breakers like the CHH2100H4 are installed to help prevent damage caused by overloads and short circuits. When current levels rise beyond safe limits, the breaker interrupts the flow of electricity, helping protect both the electrical system and connected equipment. Because this unit follows the CHH4 frame design, it is typically selected when replacing an existing breaker with the same frame type, amperage, and interrupting rating. These breakers were built with long service life in mind and are intended to continue performing reliably when properly installed and maintained.
