CAH3100X - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH3100X - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH3100X is a 100 amp, 3 pole molded case circuit breaker built on the CAH frame. It’s designed for use in 240VAC commercial and industrial power distribution systems where a 22kA interrupting rating is required. If you’re replacing an existing CAH frame breaker, this unit is intended to match the original form, fit, and function without modification to compatible equipment. This breaker features a factory-installed, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit calibrated at 40°C. That means consistent overcurrent protection based on its fixed 100A rating. Load-side lugs are included, helping simplify installation in panelboards or switchgear designed for CAH frame breakers. With molded case construction and a solid internal mechanism, the CAH3100X is built to last in demanding electrical environments.
