Q1-2100VHIN - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q1-2100VHIN - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Bring reliable protection into your electrical system without fuss. The Q1-2100VHIN is a 2-pole, 100 amp thermal-magnetic circuit breaker built for high performance in both residential and light commercial environments. It’s compact yet powerful, engineered to safeguard your circuits from overloads and short circuits while fitting neatly into tighter panel spaces. Because it only takes up four panel spaces, it’s a smart upgrade for retrofit work or maintenance jobs where space is limited.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual Overcurrent Protection: Combines a thermal trip (for sustained overloads) with instantaneous magnetic response (for sudden surges), giving you balanced safety across a range of fault scenarios.
• Space-Saving Design: Requires only four slots in the panel, making it ideal when you don’t want to reconfigure the rest of the setup.
• Long-Lasting Construction: Crafted from quality materials that resist wear and corrosion, ensuring it stays dependable over time.
• Easy Installation: Plug-on style mounting speeds up replacement or retrofitting and reduces downtime.
• Fault-Interrupting Capacity: Rated to safely interrupt fault currents without damage to the breaker itself.

Where It Works Best

• The Q1-2100VHIN is ideally suited for maintenance, upgrades, or retrofits in existing panels—especially where you want to avoid major rewiring or layout changes. It’s effective in feeder panels, sub-panels, or critical branch circuits where dependable protection is essential. When you’re replacing an old unit or adding more protection to a system without expanding panel capacity, this breaker fits the bill.
