Eaton CHQ130 Circuit Breaker - UL 489 Listed Certified
Part Number: CHQ130
Quick Summary
CHQ130 is an Eaton classified 3/4-inch thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for Type CH Loadcenters and other compatible panels. It delivers reliable overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial circuits with a compact footprint. Replacing legacy QO breakers often demands exact space and cross-compatibility; this device fits in a single 3/4-inch mounting space and uses standard Cu/Al wiring. UL 489 certification ensures safety and regulatory compliance, while the 30 A rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capacity support critical loads without compromising panel integrity. By aligning with Eaton's CH framework, CHQ130 minimizes downtime, simplifies stocking through a clamshell pack, and streamlines procurement for service teams and distributors.
