C2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

C2100 - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

The C2100 is a 100 Amp, 2-pole circuit breaker used in compatible Type C electrical panels. It's commonly installed on 120/240VAC circuits that require both legs to disconnect together if a fault occurs. That's where the common trip design comes in. If the breaker detects an overload or short circuit, both poles trip simultaneously, helping protect the circuit and any equipment connected to it.

When working on an existing panel, matching the breaker type is usually just as important as matching the amp rating. The C2100 is a Type C plug-on breaker, making it a common replacement choice for maintenance work, repairs, and electrical upgrades involving compatible equipment.

Its HACR rating makes it suitable for approved heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications, but that's only part of the picture. You'll also find breakers like the C2100 protecting subpanel feeders, electric heating equipment, larger branch circuits, and other loads that require a 100 Amp, 2-pole breaker. Most of the time, it sits inside the panel doing its job quietly in the background. When something goes wrong, though, it's expected to react immediately. That's exactly what it's designed to do.
