Built for heavy-duty power distribution, the Eaton CA3100 is a 100A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It offers robust performance for facilities requiring dependable protection. This C-Frame breaker mounts into Eaton F-Frame and classic Westinghouse panelboards. For maintenance projects, it acts as a reliable substitute for FD3100 units. Equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, it ensures accurate response up to 240VAC with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Which panelboards accept the CA3100 circuit breaker?
This C-Frame breaker is designed to mount into legacy Westinghouse panelboards as well as Eaton F-Frame panelboards. It is commonly used to maintain or upgrade older electrical distribution systems.
Will this replace my older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer CA3100?
Yes. Eaton acquired both the Westinghouse distribution equipment line and Cutler-Hammer. This breaker is the direct replacement for older CA3100 units from either brand.
What wire sizes are compatible with the terminals on the CA3100?
The included line and load lugs are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, accepting wire sizes from 3 AWG up to 300 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Can the trip settings on the CA3100 be adjusted?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous protection settings are factory calibrated and cannot be modified in the field.
How does the CA3100 mount into the panel?
It features a unit mount, feed-thru design that bolts securely into compatible panelboards and switchboards.
Is the CA3100 suitable for DC voltage applications?
No, the CA3100 is strictly rated for AC applications up to 240V. It does not carry a DC voltage rating.
Does this breaker provide ground fault protection?
No, the CA3100 is a standard thermal magnetic breaker providing long-time and instantaneous protection. It does not include ground fault or equipment protection features.
Can I use the CA3100 as a main breaker?
Yes, historically this C-Frame breaker was frequently used as a main breaker in older Westinghouse panelboards and load centers, provided the system requires a 100A main with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
