CAH3100W - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH3100W - 100Amp Circuit Breaker

Sometimes the biggest challenge in a breaker replacement isn't the installation—it's finding the right match. The CAH3100W 100 Amp 3-Pole Molded Case Circuit Breaker is commonly used in existing commercial and industrial electrical systems where matching the original breaker specifications is important. When you're working with established equipment, having the correct amp rating, pole configuration, and frame type can help avoid unnecessary changes and keep maintenance projects moving forward.

The CAH3100W is rated at 100 amps and features a 3-pole configuration with a 22kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC. It includes a non-interchangeable trip unit and is supplied without lugs installed, allowing connection hardware to be selected based on the requirements of the application. Its compact CAH-frame dimensions make it well suited for equipment designed around this breaker style, while its 40°C ambient rating supports use in a variety of electrical distribution environments.

You'll often find breakers like the CAH3100W in manufacturing facilities, commercial buildings, and industrial operations where electrical infrastructure has been serving reliably for years.
