ED23B100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

ED23B100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The ED23B100 circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 100-amp Sentron-style molded case circuit breaker designed for use in electrical distribution systems that require dependable circuit protection and compatibility with ED2 frame panelboard installations. Built for form, fit, and functional replacement in existing equipment, this bolt-on breaker helps protect circuits from overloads and short circuits while maintaining proper electrical continuity in commercial and industrial panelboards. With a 10kA interrupting rating at 240VAC, the ED23B100 is suited for systems operating within these electrical limits. Its bolt-on mounting configuration allows for secure installation, while included load-side terminals help streamline wiring during service or replacement. Rated for 40°C ambient environments and HACR applications, this breaker is also suitable for reverse feed, giving electricians and maintenance professionals flexibility when working with compatible legacy electrical systems. Like many molded case breakers of its design era, the ED23B100 was built with durability in mind and intended for long-term use when installed and maintained properly.

Where It Works Best

• The ED23B100 circuit breaker is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and facility electrical distribution systems that utilize ED2-frame Sentron-style panelboards or switchboards. It is well-suited for protecting three-phase circuits serving equipment such as HVAC units, lighting distribution panels, and mechanical loads that fall within the breaker’s electrical ratings. Because of its bolt-on configuration and frame compatibility, it is frequently selected as a form-fit-function replacement in existing installations where the original ED-series breaker is being serviced or replaced.
