Eaton CHH2100H2X - 100 A, 16 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Eaton CHH2100H2X is a robust 100A, 2-pole bolt-on molded-case circuit breaker designed to defend panelboards and load centers from overcurrent and short-circuit events. With a 16V rating and a secure bolt-on mounting, this device delivers dependable protection in a wide range of environments—from residential setups to light commercial and industrial applications.

Why this breaker stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection, reducing movement and improving long-term reliability in panels subject to movement or vibration.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection across diverse temperatures and fault conditions, helping prevent nuisance trips while maintaining fast fault response.
• 2-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnection of both conductors, enhancing safety for 240V circuits and tied-load configurations common in panelboards and load centers.
• OEM-compatible compatibility works with matching Eaton OEM load centers as well as other panelboards that specify CHH-series bolt-on breakers, simplifying replacement and stocking.
• 100A, 16V rating makes it ideal for protecting larger branch circuits and specialized low-voltage or control applications within appropriate panels.
• Durable molded-case construction offers solid insulation, compact form factor, and reliable performance in field installations and service environments.

Best-fit applications and use cases

This breaker excels as a branch-circuit protector in panelboards and load centers for residential, commercial, and light-industrial applications. Use it to protect higher-amperage feeders, subpanel circuits, or heavy-gauge branch circuits where a secure bolt-on solution is required. Its 2-pole configuration is well-suited for 240V circuits, while the 16V rating supports compatibility with specialized low-voltage control panels within the same enclosure.
