Eaton CHF115 Circuit Breaker - 10 kAIC HACR Rated
Part Number: CHF115
Quick Summary
The Eaton CHF115 thermal magnetic circuit breaker protects residential and light commercial electrical panels by interrupting fault currents. In real-world panel work, nuisance trips, mis-sizing ampacity, and space constraints slow projects and drive service costs. The device is UL 489 listed and HACR rated, with Switching Duty Rating, and is designed for Type CH Loadcenters to ensure safe, code-compliant performance. By pairing CHF115 with CH load centers, installers gain predictable protection, easier field wiring (one 2/4-inch space for single-pole configurations), and streamlined documentation for compliance. This combination supports uptime, reduces maintenance intervals, and helps procurement teams optimize stock with a known, compatible breaker family.

FAQs
CHF115 is explicitly designed for Type CH Loadcenters and uses a 3/4-inch width while requiring a single 2/4-inch space for a single-pole installation. This compatibility streamlines panel planning, reduces the risk of incorrect part pairing, and speeds on-site wiring thanks to standardized space requirements.
CHF115 provides a 15 A rating, 120/240 V operation, and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. The 15 A rating protects typical branch circuits, 120/240 V supports common residential and small commercial loads, and 10 kAIC ensures fast clearance of high-energy faults, mitigating damage and improving safety.
Yes. CHF115 is HACR rated and UL 489 listed, making it appropriate for HVAC and lighting panel applications where mechanical switching duties and heat-producing equipment are present. This ensures compliant operation and reliable performance under load-heavy conditions.
CHF115 is UL 489 listed and HACR rated, with Switching Duty rating as noted in product documentation. These certifications ensure code compliance, safe operation during switching of inductive loads, and compatibility with Type CH Loadcenters for residential and light commercial use.
CHF115’s rugged UL 489 listing, long-term reliability, and standardized CH Loadcenter compatibility reduce field service calls. Its predictable trip behavior minimizes downtime, while its space-efficient design simplifies panel fabrication, potentially lowering labor costs and inventory complexity across projects.
