ELC3100

The ELC3100 Current Limiter Attachment is a product from Eaton Cutler-Hammer’s Series C Circuit Breakers line. This component is specifically designed for compatibility with 100A HMCP (Motor Circuit Protectors), ensuring effective integration within existing systems. It supports an amperage rating of 100A and can operate with a voltage rating of up to 600 V AC, allowing it to meet demanding electrical specifications.

With an interrupting rating of 200,000 A (Sym) at 600 V AC, the ELC3100 provides significant protection against overcurrent scenarios, mitigating potential circuit failures. This attachment consists of three poles, featuring robust design considerations for reliable operation. The current limiter can handle conductors made of either copper (CU) or aluminum (AL), with an accommodating wire size range from #4 to 4/0 AWG.

In terms of fault detection, the unit includes a plunger-type extension indicator that effectively signals when a fault occurs. Additionally, the attachment must be installed with a .031-inch thick fiber insulation positioned beneath the limiter, ensuring compliance with insulation requirements. This device operates within a frequency range between 50 Hz and 60 Hz, making it well-suited for various applications in industrial settings.
