Bolt-on mounting and a compact two-pole design translate into quick, cost-effective installation in standard electrical panels, reducing field labor and panel space. This translates to measurable efficiency gains during retrofits and new builds, while maintaining reliable protection for 240/415V circuits in automation cabinets. The BAB2100E provides a 100 A amperage rating with a 3 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering strong short-circuit protection for motor circuits and feeders, minimizing equipment damage and downtime. Its thermal magnetic trip mechanism offers precise coordination with motor loads and inrush conditions, supporting safer startup sequences in automated lines and reducing nuisance trips in dynamic load profiles. The unit is HACR rated and UL Listed with CSA Certified status, ensuring code-compliant performance for industrial installations and panel builders worldwide. Compatibility with bolt-on mounting simplifies retrofits and enables standardized protection across multiple panels and fleets. The 2-pole configuration and non-interchangeable design promote predictable protection schemes and easier maintenance planning, while the 5 in x 3 in x 1 in footprint and 0.5 lb weight support flexible installation in crowded enclosures. A robust 1-year warranty and comprehensive datasheets further reduce risk and support ongoing reliability in critical automation environments.
