FAQs

The CHF230CS is a two-pole 30 A CH thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed specifically for Type CH Loadcenters. It supports 120/240 V operation with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating and features a common trip for both poles, ensuring coordinated protection in typical residential panels and light commercial installations.
The CHF230CS is CSA Certified and UL Listed, and HACR rated. These certifications verify compliance with safety and performance standards, enabling code-validated installation in most jurisdictions and support for HVAC and general-load applications while reducing regulatory risk.
Yes. The device accommodates mixed Cu/Al wiring with connectors rated for (2) #14-10 AWG Cu/Al and (1) #14-8 AWG Cu/Al. This flexibility simplifies substitutions and retrofits in existing panels and enables versatile installation in both new and retrofit projects.
Eaton provides a limited lifetime warranty on the CHF230CS, reflecting long-term reliability and support from the CH family. This reduces maintenance costs and minimizes replacement cycles, delivering measurable ROI through fewer field failures and faster panel maintenance.
Ensure mounting within a Type CH Loadcenter, alignment with the 3/4-inch CHF frame width, and proper wire sizing per the labeled Cu/Al ranges. Verify HACR compatibility for HVAC loads, enable the Trip flag indication for quick fault diagnosis, and follow manufacturer torque specs during termination to prevent loosening and overheating.
