Eaton CHB3100 - 100 A, 240 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Introducing the Eaton CHB3100 — a 3‑pole, 100 A, 240 V bolt‑on molded‑case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters.

Why it matters: a robust bolt‑on mounting creates a rigid, vibration‑resistant connection to the bus, reducing movement that can degrade contact quality over time. The result is long‑lasting protection you can count on in environments with equipment like HVAC systems or industrial panels where vibration is a factor.

• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit: combines precise overload protection with fast magnetic trip for short circuits, delivering stable, repeatable protection and minimizing nuisance trips.
• 3‑pole, 100 A, 240 V for multi‑phase loads typical in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.
• Bolt‑on mounting ensures a secure bus connection and makes replacement or upgrades straightforward in compatible panelboards.
