ELC3100R

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer ELC3100R is classified as a current-limiting circuit breaker specifically designed to enhance protective capabilities in electrical systems. This unit has a current rating of 100 Amperes and operates with three poles, providing reliable circuit protection. Its maximum rated voltage stands at 600 Volts AC, which allows it to interface effectively with various industrial applications.

With a high interrupting capacity rated at up to 200,000 A RMS symmetrical at 600 VAC, the ELC3100R is equipped to handle extreme fault conditions, thus protecting existing electrical infrastructure efficiently. This circuit breaker is compatible with the Eaton Series C HMCP Motor Circuit Protector, maintaining the same current rating of 100 A, making it a suitable collaborative component within a protection scheme.

The ELC3100R fits into frames J–K and supports a versatile wire range from 1 AWG to 4/0 AWG, including metric specifications of 50 to 95 mm². This flexibility in conductor compatibility allows installations using either copper or aluminum, depending on user preferences. The terminals are made from aluminum for reliability and are designed as standard terminals, which simplifies connections during installation.

For mounting, this breaker is designed to attach to the load end of the HMCP using a bolt-on method, providing a secure attachment to enhance stability during operation. Overall, the ELC3100R circuit breaker offers high performance in demanding applications while ensuring safety and compliance in electrical circuits.
