CAH2100Y - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH2100Y - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH2100Y is a 2-pole, 100 amp molded case circuit breaker built for use in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Designed on the CAH frame, this breaker provides dependable overload and short-circuit protection for commercial and industrial applications where matching the original breaker specifications matters. With a 22kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, it is suited for systems with moderate available fault current. This unit features a non-interchangeable trip assembly calibrated at 40°C, helping ensure consistent performance in standard ambient environments. Line-side lugs are included for proper conductor termination. When maintaining or servicing existing equipment that requires a CAH frame breaker, proper form and fit are critical — and the CAH2100Y is designed to align with those requirements. Built to last and engineered for long-term service, it remains a practical solution for keeping established systems operating safely.
