Product FAQs
8 answersWhat enclosures or panels accept the GHC2100?
The GHC2100 is designed for use in Eaton Series C enclosures and OEM control panels. It can also be mounted on a standard DIN rail when paired with the appropriate adapter clip.
Can the GHC2100 replace an older Cutler-Hammer GHC breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and maintains the same G-frame specifications. The GHC2100 serves as a direct replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer breakers sharing the same catalog number.
Is the GHC2100 suitable for DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 125/250VDC with a 14kA interrupting capacity. This makes it suitable for specific DC control circuits or solar applications requiring reliable thermal-magnetic protection.
How does a unit mount breaker like the GHC2100 install compared to plug-on types?
As a unit mount, feed-thru breaker, the GHC2100 secures directly to a backpan using screws or mounts to a DIN rail with an adapter. It uses cable-in and cable-out lug connections rather than snapping onto a panelboard busbar.
What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?
The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time protection for overloads and Instantaneous protection for short circuits. Both the thermal and magnetic trip points are fixed on the GHC2100.
Can the GHC2100 be reverse fed?
Yes, Eaton Series C G-frame breakers like the GHC2100 are suitable for reverse feed applications. This allows power to be supplied to either the line or load terminals depending on your panel configuration.
What is the benefit of the blow-open contact design in the GHC2100?
The patented contact design features a high-speed blow-open action that rapidly clears electrical faults. This results in superior current limiting performance and enhanced safety for downstream equipment.
What is the difference between Eaton GHC and GHB breakers?
While both are Series C G-frame breakers, they have different mounting styles. The GHC is a cable-in/cable-out unit mount breaker for OEM panels or DIN rails. The GHB is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for Eaton panelboards and switchboards.
