Thermal magnetic trip technology provides coordinated, predictable protection, reducing nuisance trips and extending equipment life in CH Loadcenters. This translates to improved uptime and safer maintenance windows across manufacturing lines. Trip flag indication reduces diagnostic time; maintenance teams can quickly identify tripped circuits, cutting mean time to repair and supporting safer panel audits. Three-pole plug-on mounting simplifies installation and minimizes field wiring errors, while a common trip ensures shutdown across all phases, reducing the risk of unbalanced faults in automated lines. Wire size compatibility with #14-6 AWG Cu/Al offers flexible termination options and lowers stocking needs, enabling faster retrofits. The 10 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust fault protection against upstream faults, and UL 489 listing with HACR rating ensures regulatory compliance, facilitating smoother inspections and safer, long-life panels.

FAQs
The CHF315SW is a Type CHF plug-on circuit breaker designed for Eaton Type CH Loadcenters. It uses a three-pole, plug-on mounting configuration and supports #14-6 AWG Cu/Al conductors, enabling straightforward integration into existing CH Loadcenter panels.
CHF315SW features a 10 kAIC interrupt rating and a thermal magnetic trip mechanism with a trip flag. This combination provides reliable overcurrent protection, fast fault interruption, and clear indication when a circuit trips, aiding quick service and reduced downtime.
Install by aligning the plug-on terminals with the Type CHF/CH bus, then seat the breaker firmly to engage the common trip. Use #14-6 AWG copper or aluminum conductors, and connect the neutral as required. The tool-free plug-on design simplifies field installation and minimizes wiring errors while maintaining proper clearance in the panel.
Yes, CHF315SW is UL Listed to UL 489 and HACR rated, ensuring compliance with key electrical safety standards for circuit breakers. This combination supports safer operation in controlled environments and aligns with industry certification requirements during audits and inspections.
CHF315SW delivers reliable, coordinated protection for CH Loadcenters with plug-on installation, reducing installation time and field wiring complexity. Its 10 kAIC rating and HACR compliance help mitigate fault-related downtime, while the standardized 15 A protection supports predictable performance in commercial and light industrial applications.
