The Eaton CCH3100 molded case circuit breaker delivers dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection for panelboards and loadcenters, built to fit tightly into compact spaces without sacrificing reliability. What sets the CCH3100 apart
- Compact molded case design: Maximize panel space without compromising protection, making it ideal for tight electrical layouts in residential, commercial, and light industrial projects.
- Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides stable, repeatable protection by combining two protective mechanisms—thermal for sustained overcurrents and magnetic for instantaneous short-circuit events—so you get consistent performance under varying load conditions.
- OEM-compatible compatibility: Specifically designed to work with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards, ensuring a clean, reliable integration with your existing system.
- Versatile protection for a range of applications: From home wiring upgrades to commercial and light industrial distribution, this breaker is built to handle diverse demand profiles. Who this is for
- Electricians and facility managers upgrading panels or replacing aging breakers in residential and light commercial settings.
- Contractors installing new loadcenters where space efficiency and reliable protection are priorities.
- Systems integrators seeking a trusted, compatible solution within Eaton’s panel ecosystems. Why it matters
- Space-efficient protection: By consolidating protection in a compact MCCB form factor, you gain more usable space inside the panel for future expansion or easier wiring routing.
- Reliable, repeatable performance: The dual-mode thermal-magnetic trip unit responds predictably to overloads and faults, reducing nuisance trips and protecting wiring and equipment.
- Seamless compatibility: Because it’s designed to pair with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards, you’re less likely to encounter fitment or coordination issues during installation. Technical snapshot
