Description

Part of the Quicklag series, the Eaton QBHW3100H is a three-pole, 100-amp miniature circuit breaker designed for heavy-duty applications. It utilizes thermal-magnetic technology to provide accurate overcurrent protection in commercial facilities. Designed for maximum compatibility, this breaker bolts into Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards as well as older Westinghouse enclosures. The bolt-on mounting method provides a rigid connection that resists loosening.

Product FAQs

5 answers
What is the difference between Eaton BAB and QBHW circuit breakers?

Both are Quicklag bolt-on miniature circuit breakers that fit the same Eaton and Westinghouse panelboards. The primary difference is the short circuit interrupting rating. The BAB series is rated for 10 kAIC, while the QBHW series provides a higher 22 kAIC rating for commercial and industrial applications.

Which panelboards are compatible with the QBHW3100H?

This 3-pole bolt-on breaker is compatible with Eaton Pow-R-Line 1, Pow-R-Line 2, PRL1a, PRL2a, PRL1X, and PRL2X panelboards. It also fits older Westinghouse commercial panelboards that accept Quicklag bolt-on style breakers.

Can the QBHW3100H be installed in a standard residential load center?

No. This is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed strictly for commercial and industrial panelboards with bolted bus connections. It will not mount in standard residential load centers that require plug-on style breakers, such as the Eaton BR or CH series.

What type of trip protection does the QBHW3100H provide?

It is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker offering long-time and instantaneous trip functions to protect against overloads and short circuits. It does not contain arc fault or ground fault protection circuitry.

Can I use aluminum wire with the QBHW3100H breaker?

Yes. The factory-installed box lugs on this breaker are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. Ensure your wire is appropriately sized between 8 AWG and 1/0 AWG and torqued to manufacturer specifications.
