FAQs
CHF130 is designed for Type CHF 3/4-Inch single-pole breakers used in Eaton Type CH Loadcenters. It wires with the standard Cu/Al conductors (two #14-10 AWG and one #14-8 AWG as specified) and requires a single space in the panel as noted for CH single-pole configurations, enabling straightforward retrofits and replacements.
CHF130 provides a 30 A amperage rating, operates at 120/240 V, and has a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It is a single-pole, Type CHF, 3/4-Inch standard breaker with a trip flag for clear indication of tripping events, suitable for CH Loadcenters used in residential and light commercial applications.
Yes. CHF130 is HACR rated, suitable for HVAC-related circuits, and UL 489 certified, ensuring compliance with recognized safety standards for low-voltage distribution and circuit protection components used in residential and commercial panels.
The trip flag provides a visible indication when the breaker has tripped, accelerating fault diagnosis and reducing service call durations. This is particularly valuable in busy facilities where quick identification of a protected circuit minimizes downtime during outages or maintenance windows.
CHF130 accommodates wiring with (2) #14-10 Cu/Al conductors and (1) #14-8 Cu/Al conductor, for a single-pole configuration. It is designed for CH Loadcenters and a 3/4-Inch footprint, and it requires one 2/4-Inch space in the panel. Plan space accordingly and ensure proper torque and termination per manufacturer guidance.
