Eaton Specification Sheet - CHF130ST
Eaton type CH circuit breaker limited warranty June 2024
The CHF130ST delivers a 30 A amperage rating and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling fast fault clearance to protect downstream equipment. This performance translates to reduced equipment damage and shorter downtime during fault events, especially in residential feeders and light-commercial circuits. It is purpose-built for Type CH Loadcenters, ensuring coordinated protection with existing Eaton CH panels. A plug-on mounting design simplifies installation and minimizes field wiring errors, accelerating panel upgrades with less cabinet space and fewer miswires. The included shunt trip option enables remote trip control for safety-critical applications, such as interlocks or building automation, without sacrificing quick local protection. Wire compatibility supports (1) #14-8 AWG and (2) #14-10 AWG Cu/Al with solid or stranded conductors, reducing inventory complexity and enabling seamless retrofits. Compliance and visibility are enhanced by a clear trip flag and UL Listed, HACR-rated performance for residential and light-commercial use. Overall, the CHF130ST provides reliable protection, easy replacement in CH Loadcenters, and a compact footprint that optimizes panel real estate during modernization.

FAQs
CHF130ST is a Type CHF plug-on breaker designed for Type CH Loadcenters. It accepts (1) #14-8 AWG and (2) #14-10 AWG Cu/Al conductors, supports solid and stranded wire together, and is a 1-pole device rated for 120/240 V with a 30 A rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capacity.
Install CHF130ST via plug-on mounting into a compatible CH load center. Use wire sizes of #14-8 AWG (hot) and #14-10 AWG Cu/Al (neutral/ground as applicable). The device supports solid or stranded copper/aluminum conductors, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike.
CHF130ST is UL Listed (UL 489) and HACR rated, ensuring compliance with electrical safety standards and heating, air, and cooling equipment protection requirements. These certifications provide validation for residential and light-commercial installations and support code compliance in panel assemblies.
Yes. The catalog notes specify that solid and stranded wire can be used together with CHF130ST, offering flexibility for mixed-wire installations and simplifying field modifications without compromising protection performance.
The included shunt trip enables remote, automatic circuit interruption via control circuits or building automation systems. This feature enhances safety by allowing rapid shutdown in emergencies while maintaining local protection and quick reset after the fault condition is cleared.
