Cutler Hammer 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Cutler Hammer 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Cutler Hammer 100 amp circuit breakers are used in residential, commercial, industrial, and electrical distribution applications where reliable overcurrent protection is required. Electrical Supplies Unlimited (ESU) buys and sells new, used, surplus, obsolete, and hard-to-find Cutler-Hammer 100 amp circuit breakers for electricians, electrical contractors, facility managers, manufacturers, businesses, and other customers nationwide.

Cutler-Hammer is now part of Eaton, so you may also find these breakers listed as Eaton Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers or simply Eaton breakers. Depending on the application, 100 amp breakers are available in different series, pole configurations, voltage ratings, mounting styles, and interrupting capacities. For example, Cutler-Hammer 100A products include BR, CH, CC, and molded-case breaker configurations.

ESU maintains access to a wide range of electrical equipment, including Cutler Hammer 100 amp circuit breakers and other Eaton circuit breaker products. Depending on availability, we may have new, previously owned, surplus, discontinued, or obsolete breakers available.

Some 100 amp Cutler-Hammer breakers are designed for residential and light commercial load centers, while others are molded-case circuit breakers intended for commercial and industrial distribution equipment. For example, the Eaton BR series includes 100 amp two-pole breakers, while Cutler-Hammer molded-case products are available in configurations such as three-pole, 100 amp breakers for commercial and industrial applications. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Because the amp rating alone does not determine breaker compatibility, it is important to identify the exact breaker type, catalog number, voltage, number of poles, mounting method, and panel or equipment it is intended for before purchasing a replacement.

Cutler Hammer 100 Amp Breaker Specifications

When identifying a Cutler-Hammer 100 amp circuit breaker, several specifications should be checked. Two breakers with the same 100 amp rating may not be interchangeable.

  • Amperage: 100 amps
  • Number of poles: 1, 2, 3, or other configurations depending on the breaker family
  • Voltage rating: varies by breaker model
  • Interrupting rating: varies by model and application
  • Mounting: plug-on, bolt-on, or molded-case configurations
  • Breaker series: BR, CH, CC, Series C, and other Cutler-Hammer families
  • Trip characteristics: thermal-magnetic or other protection depending on the model
  • Catalog or part number: critical for identifying an exact replacement

For example, the Cutler-Hammer/Eaton BR2100 is a 100 amp, two-pole breaker rated for 120/240V applications, while other Cutler-Hammer 100 amp products are designed for higher-voltage commercial and industrial applications. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Used Cutler Hammer 100 Amp Circuit Breakers

Buying a used Cutler Hammer 100 amp circuit breaker can be a practical solution when an older electrical panel or piece of equipment requires a specific breaker that is no longer readily available through normal distribution channels.

ESU has more than 40 years of experience buying and selling previously owned electrical equipment. We specialize in used, obsolete, discontinued, surplus, and hard-to-find circuit breakers, helping customers locate breakers for older electrical systems.

Used circuit breakers should be properly identified and inspected before installation. The breaker must be appropriate for the specific panel or equipment, and its voltage, amperage, pole configuration, mounting style, and interrupting rating should be verified.

Learn more about purchasing previously owned breakers in our guide to used circuit breakers and whether they are safe.

Need a Hard-to-Find Cutler Hammer Breaker?

Older Cutler-Hammer equipment can be difficult to match when the original breaker has been discontinued or replaced by a newer product family. ESU specializes in helping customers locate obsolete and hard-to-find circuit breakers, including older Cutler-Hammer products.

If you are replacing an existing breaker, having the information printed on the original breaker can make identification much easier. Look for the manufacturer name, catalog number, amperage, voltage, pole configuration, series, and other markings.

Our Circuit Breaker Identification Guide can help you determine what information to look for when identifying an older breaker.

You can also learn more about finding older equipment through our pages on obsolete circuit breakers, discontinued circuit breakers, and hard-to-find circuit breakers.
