CHF235SW is a two-pole 35 A circuit breaker rated for 120 V with a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity. This combination delivers reliable overcurrent protection and fast fault clearance, reducing the risk of equipment damage and downstream failures. It is well suited for branch circuits in residential panels and light commercial distribution where predictable protection and fast response are critical. Thermal magnetic trip technology provides coordinated disturbance protection: a thermal element handles sustained overloads while a magnetic element responds to short circuits. The business impact is fewer nuisance trips and improved selectivity across adjacent circuits, translating to lower maintenance costs and less downtime. In practice, the CHF235SW is a dependable choice for motors and lighting circuits within typical field installations. Plug-on mounting simplifies retrofit and new-build installations by attaching directly to the Type CH bus and sharing a common trip with other CH devices. The neutral switching feature improves safety and NEC compliance for neutral conductors, reducing field wiring time and miswiring risk. HACR rated and UL 489 listed provide formal compliance with NEC requirements and panelboard standards, streamlining procurement and reducing audit risk. Wire size compatibility (#14-2 AWG Cu/Al) enables direct terminations, while the compact 1.5-inch depth and 5-inch width maximize panel real estate and heat management in dense installations. Overall, CHF235SW blends robust protection with practical installation benefits, making it a compelling choice for spec-driven projects and ongoing maintenance programs in electrical protection and circuit control.
