FAQs
Install the BRHX2100 using its plug-on mounting method. Ensure the panel provides 120/240 V operation and space for a two-pole, 100 A device. Align the BRHX2100 with the rail or bus structure, secure it per manufacturer instructions, and verify the plug-on connection engages fully. After installation, perform a functional test to confirm proper tripping and coordination with upstream devices.
The BRHX2100 is a two-pole circuit breaker rated 100 A with a 22 kAIC interrupt rating, operating at 120/240 V. It is a non-interchangeable trip device of the BR family, with plug-on mounting and a main circuit breaker designation of BR. These specs inform its suitability for distribution panels and protection of feeders and motors within standard industrial electrical systems.
Yes, the BRHX2100 is well-suited for motor control and distribution panels where reliable overcurrent protection and fast fault clearance are essential. Its 22 kAIC interrupt rating helps manage fault energy in industrial settings, while the plug-on mounting supports easier integration into existing panel architectures and minimizes wiring complexity.
Certification details for BRHX2100 are provided by Eaton; you should verify which regional marks apply (such as CE, UL, or others) with Eaton or your local distributor. The device is designed to meet standard low‑voltage protection requirements, and the manufacturer can confirm the exact approvals required for your country or industry standards.
The BRHX2100 combines reliable protection with straightforward installation, reducing downtime due to nuisance trips and simplifying maintenance.
