CH2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CH2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

The CH2100 is a 100 Amp, 2-Pole Type CH bolt-on circuit breaker used to protect electrical systems from overloads and short-circuit faults. Found in everything from commercial buildings to industrial facilities, this breaker is a common choice for applications where a secure bolt-on connection and consistent circuit protection are required.

With a 100-amp rating, the CH2100 is often used on larger branch circuits, feeder circuits, HVAC equipment, and other electrical loads that require higher-capacity protection. The thermal magnetic trip mechanism combines two forms of protection in a single device. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic element reacts to short-circuit events, helping disconnect faulted circuits before damage can spread through the system.

This breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit, which keeps the protection settings fixed and eliminates the possibility of field adjustments. It also carries a 65kA interrupting rating at 240VAC and 14kA at 480VAC, making it suitable for installations where available fault current is a consideration. For HVAC applications, the CH2100 is HACR rated and designed for operation in 40°C ambient conditions on both 50Hz and 60Hz electrical systems.

Whether you're installing it in a distribution panel, protecting mechanical equipment, or replacing an existing breaker, the CH2100 offers a straightforward solution for applications that require 100 Amp, 2-pole overcurrent protection.
