The Live CH1100C Single Pole MCB is a high-capacity miniature circuit breaker designed to provide reliable protection for very high-power single-phase electrical circuits in industrial and commercial applications. Rated at 100 Amps with a C-curve tripping characteristic, this 1-pole breaker safeguards the phase conductor on AC systems up to 230V at 50/60Hz frequency. It delivers precise protection against overloads and short circuits, making it the ideal choice for main distribution feeders, large industrial equipment, high-power commercial installations, and applications requiring higher current capacity than standard MCBs. With its robust construction and precision thermo-magnetic release, the CH1100C ensures equipment protection and operational safety for demanding high-power applications.
High-Capacity Single Pole Protection: Protects one phase conductor for very high-power single-phase 230V circuits up to 100A.
6kA Breaking Capacity: Reliable fault current interruption for standard industrial and commercial installations.
C-Curve Characteristic: Trips instantaneously at 5-10 times rated current (500A to 1000A), specifically calibrated for high-power circuits with significant inductive loads.
Very High-Capacity 100A Protection: Ideal for main distribution feeders, large industrial equipment, high-power commercial installations, and heavy-duty applications.
Wide Application Range: Suitable for industrial facilities, large commercial buildings, and main distribution applications requiring high-current protection.
