The Live CH2100C Double Pole MCB is a high-capacity industrial-grade miniature circuit breaker designed to provide reliable protection for very high-power single-phase circuits requiring simultaneous switching of both phase and neutral conductors. Rated at 100 Amps with a C-curve tripping characteristic, this 2-pole breaker safeguards both the phase and neutral conductors on AC systems up to 230/400V at 50/60Hz frequency. It features a 6kA breaking capacity, making it suitable for standard industrial and commercial installations. The C-curve characteristic (5-10x In) provides excellent protection for circuits with significant inductive loads while accommodating the inrush currents typical of large industrial equipment. With its robust construction and precision thermo-magnetic release, the CH2100C ensures complete circuit isolation and equipment protection for demanding high-power applications requiring current ratings above the standard 63A range.
Complete Double Pole Protection: Simultaneously protects and switches both phase and neutral conductors, ensuring complete circuit isolation during fault conditions and maintenance.
High-Capacity 100A Rating: Provides protection for applications requiring 100A capacity, beyond the standard 63A maximum of conventional MCBs.
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.
Complete Isolation: Neutral pole disconnects simultaneously with phase, preventing floating neutral conditions and ensuring safety during maintenance.
Extended Current Range: Ideal for main distribution feeders, large industrial equipment, high-power commercial installations, and heavy-duty applications.
Precision Thermo-Magnetic Release: Thermal bimetal strip for accurate overload protection and magnetic solenoid for instantaneous short-circuit response on both poles.
Superior Electrical Isolation: 4000V impulse withstand rating and 500V insulation voltage for protection against voltage transients.
Extended Operational Life: 8,000 electrical operations for long-term reliability.
Professional Installation: Standard 35mm DIN-rail mounting with IP20 finger-safe terminals.

1. What specific applications require a 100A double pole MCB with C-Curve?
Main distribution feeders for large commercial units, high-power industrial equipment, large welding machines (up to 23kW), heavy-duty industrial heaters, and sub-main distribution boards requiring complete phase and neutral isolation at high currents.
2. What is the power capacity of this 100A double pole breaker?
Maximum resistive load: 23kW at 230V. Continuous load (80% rule): 18.4kW. Suitable for very high-power industrial and commercial applications requiring complete isolation of both conductors.
3. Why choose double pole at 100A capacity instead of single pole?
Double pole provides complete isolation of both phase and neutral, essential for safety during maintenance, compliance with electrical regulations, and preventing floating neutral conditions in high-power installations.
4. Can this breaker be used as a main switch for a large industrial facility?
Yes, it's ideal as a main isolation switch for large workshops, industrial facilities, and commercial units requiring up to 23kW single-phase supply with complete phase and neutral isolation.
5. What cable size is required for 100A double pole circuits?
25mm² copper conductor minimum. 35mm² strongly recommended for longer runs, higher ambient temperatures, and to minimize voltage drop. Both phase and neutral conductors must be same size.
