FAQs
The CHB360 is a three-pole breaker designed for CH Loadcenters and accepts #8-2 AWG conductors. Its compact 3.7 in length, 3.3 in height, and 1.5 in width footprint facilitates easy mounting in standard enclosures. Expect a weight of about 0.6 lb and verify compatibility with existing CH components before swapping units to ensure proper fit and trip coordination.
Key ratings include a 60 A amperage, 240 V voltage rating, three-pole configuration, and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. This combination supports 3-phase distribution and provides robust fault interruption capabilities for industrial feeders using CH Loadcenters. Wire size compatibility is #8-2 AWG, with a compact form factor for efficient panel layout.
CHB360 is specified for standard electrical protection within CH Loadcenters and indoor panel configurations. While it carries UL 489 listing for safe operation, for outdoor or harsh environments you should confirm enclosure ratings and potential exposure conditions. In most industrial automation settings, pairing with a suitable NEMA/IEC-rated enclosure provides appropriate protection.
CHB360 carries a limited lifetime warranty from Eaton, which supports long-term reliability and reduces replacement and downtime costs. This warranty, combined with UL 489 conformity and a 60 A rating, contributes to favorable total cost of ownership by minimizing mid-life component failures and maintenance interruptions in CH Loadcenter installations.
Official specification documents are available from Eaton. The CHB360 specification sheet provides detailed product data, including electrical ratings, wiring, and mounting guidance, and can be accessed via Eaton’s site. A secondary warranty guide is also available for reference, useful for procurement and compliance verification.
