FAQs
Install the CHF215 as a two-pole devices occupying two 3/4-inch spaces in a Type CH load center. Use wiring per the datasheet: (2) #14-10 AWG copper or aluminum conductors for the two poles and (1) #14-8 AWG for a pigtail or auxiliary connection if required. Confirm the wires are properly seated in lugs, tighten to manufacturer torque specs, and verify full engagement before re-energizing. The common-trip design ensures both poles disconnect together, improving safety and compliance.
CHF215 is a 15 A, two-pole, 120/240 V circuit breaker with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. This combination supports standard residential and light commercial loads, offers strong short-circuit protection, and aligns with NEC requirements for typical branch circuits. The UL 489 certification confirms conformance to recognized safety standards, while HACR rating broadens the scope to include motor and HVAC equipment without nuisance trips.
Yes. The CHF215 is explicitly designed for Type CH Loadcenters and two-pole configurations, providing common-trip protection across circuits. Its 120/240 V rating and compatibility with CH panels make it well-suited for homes and small businesses, delivering reliable protection with straightforward installation and maintenance. This makes it a solid choice for new installations and panel upgrades alike.
The CHF215 carries UL 489 certification and is HACR rated. UL 489 confirms compliance with a widely adopted standard for low-voltage circuit breakers, while HACR rating ensures suitability for motors and heating/control loads. Together, these certifications simplify code approvals, inspections, and documentation for residential and light commercial projects, reducing the risk of non-compliance and rework.
