Eaton Specification Sheet - CHF150CS
Eaton type CH circuit breaker limited warranty June 2024
Thermal magnetic protection with a 50 A rating and 120/240 V operation delivers reliable overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial branch circuits, reducing nuisance outages and service calls. This feature translates to faster troubleshooting and safer installations in crowded panel spaces, enabling cleaner layouts in Type CH Loadcenters. The unit ships in a clamshell pack, which simplifies stocking, handling, and counter-to-counter transfers, reducing damage risks during procurement and distribution. A built-in trip flag provides immediate status visibility, cutting diagnostic time for maintenance teams and minimizing panel downtime. The CHF 3/4-inch width plus single-pole configuration optimizes space in meters of panel width, allowing engineers to maximize busbar utilization and maintain code-compliant layouts. UL 489 certification and HACR rating offer regulatory peace of mind while supporting HVAC and general-use circuits in compliant installations. Compatibility with CH Loadcenters and standard conductors like #14-2 AWG Cu/Al streamlines replacements and upgrades, lowering total cost of ownership through simplified stocking and accelerated field service. The 10 kAIC interrupt rating broadens fault protection margins, enabling flexible upstream protection strategies and reducing the need for oversize main breakers in many installations. All these traits—packaged convenience, clear status indication, and proven Eaton reliability—translate to lower maintenance overhead and longer panel life in commercial and residential projects.
