CAH3200 - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH3200 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH3200 molded case circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 200-amp breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Built on the CAH frame and rated for 22kA at 240VAC, this breaker provides the interrupting capacity required for many legacy panelboards and switchgear applications. It features a non-interchangeable trip unit calibrated for consistent protection at 40°C, making it well-suited for standard operating environments. Supplied with both line- and load-side lugs, the CAH3200 is engineered for straightforward installation and secure conductor termination. If you’re maintaining or restoring existing electrical infrastructure, this breaker offers the correct form, fit, and function needed to keep your system operating as designed. Designed as a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), the CAH3200 helps protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of equipment damage and unplanned downtime. Its solid construction reflects the durability expected in long-term power distribution components—equipment built to last in demanding electrical environments.
