Eaton Cutler-Hammer BR2100 Circuit Breaker
The Eaton Cutler-Hammer BR2100 is an authentic dual-pole Type BR thermal-magnetic circuit breaker engineered for high-demand integration within standard loadcenters and meter breaker groups. Rated for 100 Amps at 120/240Vac, this common 2-pole main breaker utilizes a bolt-on connection style to maintain a secure electrical interface. With a 10k AIC (Ampere Interrupting Capacity) rating, it offers essential overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial HVACR equipment, including large condenser units and air handlers. The BR2100 breaker features a 1-inch per pole width, common trip functionality to ensure simultaneous disconnection of both poles, and is compatible with wire sizes ranging from #4 to 1/0 AWG for copper or aluminum conductors. This plug-on circuit breaker is the direct replacement for older Westinghouse BR series components, ensuring seamless retrofitting in established Eaton BR loadcenters without requiring panel modifications.
- 10,000 AIC Interruption: Provides necessary short-circuit protection for standard residential electrical systems.
- Thermal-Magnetic Trip: Ensures precision response to both persistent overloads and sudden short-circuit events to protect HVAC circuit integrity.
- Common Trip Mechanism: Internal linkage guarantees that if one pole trips, the entire circuit is de-energized, preventing single-phasing of 240V equipment.
- Universal BR Compatibility: Designed for use in all modern Eaton BR series panels and authorized enclosures.
Common Installation Questions
Is the BR2100 compatible with older Westinghouse panels?
Yes, as the successor to Westinghouse electrical components, Eaton's BR2100 is the correct plug-on replacement for legacy Type BR loadcenters, provided the bus bar is in serviceable condition.
Can this breaker be used as a main disconnect?
While often used as a 100A main circuit breaker in smaller sub-panels, its primary function is branch circuit protection. Always verify the specific frame size and bus alignment of your main lug loadcenter before installation.
What is the torque specification for the wire terminals?
For #4 - 1/0 AWG conductors, standard terminal torque is typically 45 lb-in, though you should always verify the specific rating labeled on the Eaton BR2100 device housing during the final inspection.
