FAQs

The BAB2100I is a two-pole, non-interchangeable unit designed for 240 V single-phase circuits with ring or spade lug terminals. It supports distribution panels and machine-control enclosures, and it can be wired in panels rated for 240 V with up to three wires. This configuration simplifies field wiring and replacement while maintaining proper protection coordination.
Rated at 100 A with a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity, the BAB2100I operates at 120/240 V single-phase and uses the T196 trip type. These specs provide fast, reliable disconnection during overloads or short circuits, helping to protect equipment and reduce fault propagation in industrial power distribution.
Yes, the BAB2100I is HACR Rated, which means it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration loads. This certification ensures safer, code-compliant operation when protecting HVAC circuits within industrial and commercial panels, streamlining integration with climate-control equipment.
With a Quicklag thermal-magnetic design, UL Listed and CSA Certified reliability, and a 1-year warranty, the BAB2100I minimizes nuisance trips and failures. Its non-automatic, durable construction reduces maintenance visits and parts replacement, delivering measurable uptime gains and lower total cost of ownership in busy manufacturing environments.
