Product FAQs
7 answers
What load centers are compatible with the BRHH2100?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Eaton and legacy Cutler-Hammer Type BR load centers. It utilizes a standard plug-on mounting configuration.
How much panel space does the BRHH2100 require?
As a 2-pole Type BR breaker, it requires two 1-inch spaces, taking up a total of 2 inches of physical space on the load center bus.
What does the HH in the BRHH2100 part number signify?
The HH designates a high interrupting rating of 42 kAIC at 120/240VAC. This is significantly higher than standard BR breakers (10 kAIC) and BRH breakers (22 kAIC), making it suitable for systems with higher available fault currents.
Can the BRHH2100 replace a standard BR2100 or BRH2100?
Yes, it shares the exact same physical dimensions and plug-on mounting style as the BR2100 and BRH2100. It can be used as a direct replacement or upgrade when a 42 kAIC interrupting rating is required by a fault current study.
Is the BRHH2100 interchangeable with legacy Cutler-Hammer panels?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, and current Eaton Type BR breakers are fully backward compatible with legacy Cutler-Hammer Type BR load centers.
Does the BRHH2100 provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. It provides reliable long-time and instantaneous protection against overloads and short circuits, but does not include ground fault or arc fault circuitry.
Is this breaker HACR rated?
Yes, Eaton Type BR thermal-magnetic breakers are HACR rated, making this unit suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits that require a 100A overcurrent device.
