Serving as a drop-in replacement for legacy systems, the Eaton G3100 3-pole, 100A molded case circuit breaker belongs to the Series C G-Frame family. This bolt-on MCCB installs into older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer panelboards or motor control centers. It serves as an exact legacy substitute, eliminating the need for expensive panel upgrades or newer GHB3100 retrofits. Rated for 600VAC with an 18kAIC capacity at 240V, it features HACR certification and reverse feed capabilities.
What equipment is the G3100 circuit breaker compatible with?
The G3100 is designed for installation in legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer panelboards, as well as motor control centers that accept G-frame bolt-on breakers.
Are Eaton and Westinghouse G3100 breakers interchangeable?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment division, so the G3100 may be branded as Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, or Westinghouse. They are physically and electrically identical.
What wire sizes are compatible with the G3100 lugs?
The load-side lugs on the G3100 accept wire sizes ranging from 10 AWG up to 1/0 AWG.
Does the G3100 include lugs on both the line and load sides?
No. As a bolt-on breaker, the line side bolts directly to the panelboard bus. It comes equipped with load-side lug terminals for outgoing wire connections.
Can the G3100 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing a maximum interrupting capacity of 14kA at that voltage.
Are the trip settings on the G3100 adjustable?
No, the G3100 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip thresholds cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is the G3100 a direct replacement for older Westinghouse G-frame breakers?
Yes, the G3100 serves as an exact drop-in replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer 100A, 3-pole G-frame breakers, allowing you to replace the breaker without modifying the panelboard.
Is the G3100 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, the G3100 is capable of being reverse fed, which provides flexibility for specific panelboard or motor control center configurations.
