FAQs

CHF215ST is designed for plug-on installation in Eaton Type CH Loadcenters. It fits two-pole configurations, aligns with CH-series buses, and uses standard #14-10 AWG Cu/Al wiring (with an #14-8 AWG option for the common ground/neutral path). This ensures straightforward retrofits and minimizes the risk of misfit components during panel upgrades.
The CHF215ST is a 15 A two-pole circuit breaker rated for 120/240 V with a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity. It features plug-on mounting, a shunt-trip option, HACR rating, and UL Listed UL 489 certification. These specs support safe operation, remote tripping capabilities, and compatibility with CH Loadcenters in both residential and light commercial settings.
Yes. The catalog notes specify that solid and stranded wire can be used together. The wiring provisions accommodate (2) #14-10 AWG Cu/Al and (1) #14-8 AWG, enabling flexible wiring strategies for mixed conductor configurations without compromising insulation, clearance, or trip performance.
CHF215ST carries UL Listed UL 489 certification and is HACR rated, ensuring compliance with electrical safety standards. The product is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, offering long-term assurance on performance and reliability for installed panels and ongoing maintenance programs.
Routine inspection should verify proper mounting, no overheating, and clear trip flags. The unit’s shunt-trip capability supports remote shutdowns in automation schemes. Given UL 489 and HACR ratings, it’s compatible with standard maintenance cycles in CH Loadcenters, reducing downtime during troubleshooting and facilitating safer, faster replacements when needed.
