Schneider Electric 2C200 200A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the Schneider Electric 2C200 200A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker — a purpose-built protective device designed to guard 240V circuits and the wiring they power. Part Number 2C200, this breaker delivers a robust 200 amp current rating across two poles, making it ideal for residential or light commercial applications that demand reliable overcurrent protection.

• Part Number: 2C200
• Current rating: 200 A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage rating: 240 V

Why choose a 2-pole 240V breaker like the 2C200? It provides simultaneous protection for both live conductors in a 240V circuit, ensuring that both legs trip together in the event of an overcurrent. This coordinated shut-off helps prevent damage to connected equipment and reduces the risk of electrical faults spreading through the panel.

Key use cases

• Feeding 240V appliances or machinery (such as air handlers, compressors, or large tools) in a residential or small commercial setting
• Primary protection for feeder circuits in upgraded electrical panels
• Replacement breaker in Schneider Electric installations where a 2-pole, 240V solution is required

Design and reliability matter. This unit is built to work within Schneider Electric’s line of circuit breakers, offering consistent trip performance and dependable operation when it’s needed most. The 2C200 is a straightforward, no-nonsense solution for protecting circuits against overcurrent, helping you maintain electrical safety and system integrity.

Practical tips:

• Verify that your panel accepts 2-pole 240V breakers and that the bus stab configuration matches the 2C200 family before installation.
• Use with properly rated wiring and overcurrent protection per electrical codes and manufacturer recommendations.
• Keep a spare 2C200 on hand for quick field replacements to minimize downtime on critical 240V circuits.
