Built for residential and commercial applications, the 100-amp Eaton BRH component provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection. It mounts into standard Type BR load centers, offering a secure plug-on connection for main or subpanel configurations. Featuring a high interrupting rating of 22kAIC at 120/240VAC, this two-pole unit handles demanding fault currents better than standard 10kAIC versions. It accepts 4-1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire for flexible installation.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What load centers accept the Eaton BRH2100?
This plug-on breaker is designed for Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also UL-approved for installation in compatible legacy Westinghouse, Challenger, and Bryant panels.
Is the BRH2100 a direct replacement for older Bryant or Westinghouse 100A breakers?
Yes, Eaton Type BR breakers are the UL-approved genuine replacements for many older Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger breakers. You must verify your specific panel labeling to ensure Type BR is permitted.
What is the difference between Eaton BR and BRH circuit breakers?
The "H" in the BRH series indicates a high interrupting rating. While standard BR breakers typically have a 10 kAIC rating, the BRH2100 is rated for 22 kAIC at 240V.
How much space does the BRH2100 require in a load center?
As a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker, the BRH2100 requires two standard 1-inch spaces in a compatible panel.
Is the BRH2100 suitable for heavy continuous loads in aluminum panelboards?
Yes. For high-draw continuous loads like EV wall connectors or battery backup systems, equipment manufacturers often specifically recommend using Eaton BRH breakers over standard BR breakers when the electrical panelboard is constructed of aluminum.
What type of trip mechanism does the BRH2100 use?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. This provides a long-time delay response for standard overloads and an instantaneous response for short circuits.
