Eaton CHH2100H4X Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker - UL 489
Part Number: CHH2100H4X
Quick Summary
The Eaton CHH2100H4X thermal magnetic circuit breaker protects electrical panels by interrupting fault currents in 120/240 V systems. In tight enclosures and evolving metering stacks, nuisance trips and ambiguous fault sources waste time and increase downtime. It carries UL 489 certification and is designed for reliable, field-friendly bolt-on installation. With a 100 A rating and a 42 kAIC interrupt capacity, it delivers fast protection against overcurrents while keeping arc energy contained. For engineering and procurement teams, the CHH2100H4X offers predictable performance, compatibility with 37MM and 37SS modular metering stacks, and straightforward maintenance planning—driving safer, more efficient panel protection in industrial settings.

Two-pole bolt-on mounting simplifies panel installation and reduces wiring errors. This solid mechanical fit translates to faster tune-ups and fewer reworks on crowded Eaton CH series panelboards. In practical terms, technicians can swap breakers with minimal panel disruption when upgrading to larger continuous loads in industrial automation environments. The 100 A amperage rating protects feeders and main lugs while keeping nuisance trips within predictable thresholds. The bolt-on design also supports quick field replacement, reducing downtime during maintenance windows. This is valuable for manufacturing lines that demand steady, uninterrupted power to PLCs and drives. The 120/240 V voltage rating supports common industrial loads, enabling flexible distribution across machine panels and control cabinets without the need for additional transformers. This compatibility simplifies procurement and reduces spare-part inventories for mixed-load facilities. With a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, the breaker limits arc energy and enhances personnel safety during short-circuit events. This performance is vital for high-energy electrical environments where reliability and fault containment directly impact uptime and maintenance costs. UL 489 certification provides recognized safety compliance for low-voltage power distribution components, reinforcing regulatory alignment and reducing approval timelines for panel installations. The CHH2100H4X is built to endure industrial duty, with a robust bolt-on form factor that supports rapid replacements during planned outages or system upgrades. Compatibility with 37MM and 37SS three-phase modular metering stacks simplifies integration in modern power-distribution schemes, enabling scalable protection as facilities grow and processes evolve.

FAQs
Yes. The CHH2100H4X uses a bolt-on mounting method designed for Eaton CH main-circuit panelboards and is specified for use with 37MM and 37SS three-phase modular metering stacks. This alignment minimizes field modification, speeds up retrofits, and reduces installation risk while maintaining secure mechanical contact and electrical continuity.
The breaker is rated for 100 A and operates at 120/240 V. It provides a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, two poles, and a bolt-on mounting configuration. These specs enable reliable protection for main feeders and downstream circuits while supporting compact, high-energy environments common in industrial facilities.
Yes. Its two-pole bolt-on design, 100 A rating, and 42 kAIC interrupt capacity make it well-suited for machine control panels and automation rack distributions. The 120/240 V rating covers typical automation loads, and compatibility with modular metering stacks helps scale protection as lines expand or reconfigure.
The CHH2100H4X is UL 489 certified, a widely recognized standard for low-voltage circuit breakers. This certification supports regulatory compliance, simplifies procurement in regulated markets, and accelerates approval processes for panel upgrades and new installations.
The CHH2100H4X carries a limited lifetime warranty, reflecting Eaton’s commitment to long-term reliability. Routine maintenance is typically minimal for circuit breakers, but periodic inspection of mounting integrity, connection torque, and insulation condition is recommended to sustain performance and minimize unplanned downtime.
