Eaton type CH circuit breaker limited warranty June 2024
Clamshell packaging improves handling and storage efficiency, reducing damage during transit and streamlining stocking for distributors. The bundled clamshell pack also minimizes waste and simplifies procurement for panel builders working on multiple projects. With a 30 A rating and 120/240 V operation, the CHF130CS protects typical branch circuits in residential and light commercial panels, aligning with Type CH load centers and standard wire sizes. This compatibility translates to straightforward replacement and faster field upgrades. An interrupt rating of 10 kAIC provides robust fault-current protection in environments with higher short-circuit currents, reducing the risk of equipment damage and improving system reliability in commercial installations. Trip flag indication enables rapid fault identification during inspection and reduces troubleshooting time, while the supported wiring configuration—(2) #14-10 AWG Cu/Al and (1) #14-8 AWG—offers wiring flexibility in tight spaces. UL Listed and CSA Certified certifications ensure safety compliance, and a limited lifetime warranty adds long-term value for panel builders and maintenance teams working with Type CH load centers.
