FAQs
CHF225SW is a plug-on, two-pole CHF breaker designed for Type CH Loadcenters. It accepts conductors described in the catalog notes—(2) #14-10 AWG Cu/Al and (1) #14-8 AWG—and allows solid and stranded wire to be used together. This compatibility simplifies stocking and field wiring, reducing installation errors and speeding protective-circuit setup.
Key specifications include a 25 A amperage rating, 120 V voltage rating, and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, with a plug-on mounting method and neutral switching. It is designated as CHF and intended for Type CH Loadcenters, carrying UL 489 Listing. This combination supports reliable protection for commercial and light-industrial circuits with straightforward replacement.
Yes. CHF225SW is UL Listed to UL 489 and HACR-rated, meeting common electrical codes for motor and general-purpose circuits in commercial and industrial environments. This certification supports protective-device coordination in Type CH Loadcenters and provides compliance documentation for inspectors and OEMs.
Install as a plug-on, two-pole breaker into compatible Type CH Loadcenters. The catalog notes specify wiring with (2) #14-10 AWG Cu/Al and (1) #14-8 AWG; solid and stranded conductors can be mixed. Ensure correct neutral switching and observe a 10 kAIC interrupt rating for short-circuit protection, using the trip flag for status indication.
Eaton provides a limited lifetime warranty on the CHF225SW, reflecting ongoing reliability in mission-critical panels. Coupled with UL listing and HACR rating, this translates to lower maintenance costs and reduced spare-part issues for OEMs and maintenance teams, delivering predictable performance over many years.
