BQCH2B100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

BQCH2B100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're searching for a BQCH2B100, there's a good chance you're trying to match a breaker that's already installed in your equipment. This 100 amp, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is used in systems that require a BQCH frame and a 14kA interrupting rating at 480VAC. When the frame type, amperage, and mounting style match the original breaker, replacing a worn or damaged unit is much more straightforward.

The bolt-on design allows the breaker to be secured in compatible panelboards and electrical distribution equipment, while the 2-pole configuration is commonly used where both poles need to trip and disconnect together. You'll often find breakers like the BQCH2B100 in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, office buildings, schools, and other properties that rely on electrical distribution equipment every day.

This breaker is also HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment where that rating is required. With a 40°C ambient rating, it can be used in a variety of commercial and industrial environments. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, replacing a failed breaker, or tracking down the correct part for an existing installation, the BQCH2B100 is built to last and designed to match the specifications of compatible equipment.
