BRHX2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

BRHX2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRHX2100 is a 100 Amp two-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker used on your 120/240V circuits serving larger electrical equipment and distribution loads. Designed for installation in compatible Type BR loadcenters and panelboards, it provides protection against overloads and short circuits while supporting equipment that requires a higher-amperage branch circuit.

This breaker is commonly found on circuits serving HVAC equipment, electric heating systems, water heaters, pumps, compressors, subpanels, and other larger 240-volt loads.

One feature that often drives the selection of the BRHX2100 is its 22kAIC interrupting rating. In installations where available fault current exceeds the ratings of standard breakers, a higher interrupting capacity may be required.

For facilities already using Type BR equipment, the BRHX2100 can be installed without changing panel configuration or moving to a different breaker platform.
