Eaton | CH-2100-12-BF-20A-HFD | Circuit Breaker | 20A | 2-Pole | 240V

Meet the Eaton CH-2100-12-BF-20A-HFD, a purpose-built circuit breaker designed for reliable performance in maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where exact specifications matter. With a 20-amp rating, 2-pole configuration, and 240V operation, it’s tailored for demanding 240V circuits and multi-wire setups that require coordinated switching of both hot legs.

Key specifications at a glance

• Amperage: 20A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 240V
• Part number: CH-2100-12-BF-20A-HFD

Why this Eaton breaker stands out

• Exact compatibility for replacements — The part number is your strongest reference for matching existing panels and feeders, minimizing guesswork during maintenance or retrofit.
• Designed for 240V circuits — Ideal for applications that require simultaneous disconnect of both hot legs, improving safety and protection for 240V appliances and loads.
• Clean retrofit option — When upgrading or replacing aging breakers, this 2-pole 20A unit aligns with Eaton’s CH-series form factor, helping ensure a straightforward swap with minimal panel disruption.

Who should consider this breaker

• Electrical professionals performing panel maintenance, replacements, or system upgrades in residential, commercial, or light industrial settings.
• Homeowners or facility managers updating legacy electrical panels to meet current safety and reliability standards.
• Projects requiring a precise 20A, 2-pole, 240V solution that integrates smoothly with Eaton equipment.

Usage scenarios and practical considerations

• Replacing a worn-out or tripping 2-pole 240V breaker in an Eaton-compatible panel
• Retrofit scenarios where a 240V branch circuit needs robust overcurrent protection
• Maintenance cycles where using the exact part number ensures consistent trip characteristics and panel compatibility

Tips for a smooth fit

• Always confirm fit and ratings before ordering. The CH-2100-12-BF-20A-HFD is the best reference to match with your panel labeling and available spaces.
• Consult the panel’s documentation to verify that a 2-pole 240V configuration aligns with the circuit’s requirements and the connected load.
• Keep a record of the part number for future maintenance or ordering to ensure ongoing compatibility across replacements and retrofits.
