Eaton CHP150 CHP Plug-in Circuit Breaker UL489
Part Number: CHP150
Quick Summary
Eaton CHP150 is a thermal magnetic circuit breaker protecting Type CH load centers in commercial panels. Engineers often confront nuisance trips, limited compatibility, and costly downtime when upgrading protection in CH load centers. UL 489 certification and HACR rating ensure code compliance and safe HVAC and motor circuits. This compact plug-in breaker delivers reliable protection with 50 A capacity, 120/240 V operation, and 10 kAIC interrupt rating. Its compatibility with Type CH Loadcenters and Cu/Al wiring supports quick installs and efficient panel upgrades. For maintenance teams, the CHP150 simplifies spare-part stocking with standardized CHP-family components. That supports faster changeouts and lower lifecycle costs.

FAQs
Yes. The CHP150 is a Type CHP plug-in circuit breaker designed specifically for Type CH Loadcenters, providing seamless replacement and consistent protection within those panels.
The 10 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the maximum fault current the breaker can interrupt without damage. This enhances protection for circuits subject to higher fault levels and reduces the risk of cascading failures in power distribution.
CHP150 supports Cu/Al wiring from #14 to 1/0 AWG, aligning with common branch-circuit practices and enabling straightforward integration into existing CH Loadcenters.
CHP150 carries UL 489 certification and HACR rating. UL 489 ensures national safety compliance for circuit breakers, while HACR rating is essential for control of HVAC and motor loads, simplifying code adherence during inspections.
