Eaton Specification Sheet - CHSF-250
Feature: Electrical ratings and interrupt capability. The CHSF-250 is rated for 250 A with a 500 Vac and 500 Vdc rating and a 200 kAIC interrupt capability, enabling rapid fault interruption and reduced arc energy. This protection minimizes damage to motor drives, power supplies, and feeders, and supports safer startup and shutdown sequences in industrial automation lines. Application: ideal for motor drive protection and power distribution panels in manufacturing facilities. Feature: Non-indicating, compact design. The non-indicating form saves panel space and reduces wiring complexity in tight enclosures. This translates to easier certification documentation and fewer misinterpretations during maintenance. Application: suited for bolt-on, space-constrained panels in machine centers and line replaceable units. Feature: Bolt-on mounting and installation efficiency. Bolt-on mounting provides secure attachment with straightforward usage of standard mounting patterns used by panel builders, cutting commissioning time by hours. This design supports retrofits and new builds across conveyors, robotic cells, and process lines, delivering consistent protection without redesign. Application: compatible with standard industry mounting practices for electrical protection schemes. Feature: Compliance and certifications. UL Recognized, CSA Certified, and RoHS Compliant ensures your assemblies meet global safety and environmental requirements, reducing supplier risk and simplifying audits. This is especially valuable for multi-site manufacturers needing consistent protection devices across regions. Application: procurement and compliance workflows in automotive, packaging, and industrial automation sectors. Feature: Documentation and integration support. Detailed catalogs, datasheets, and application notes streamline specification, fault coordination, and maintenance planning. Engineers benefit from clear test conditions, coordinate with other protection devices, and maintain rigorous change-control records. Application: design validation in electrical protection architectures and BOM management.

FAQs
CHSF-250 uses bolt-on mounting compatible with common panel hardware. For reliable installation, align the fuse with standard busbar connections, secure with appropriate hardware, and verify tightness per your enclosure's torque guidelines. The bolt-on design supports rapid field retrofits and minimizes cabinet disruption.
The fuse provides 250 A amperage, 500 Vac and 500 Vdc voltage ratings, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. This combination enables fast fault interruption, limits arc energy, and protects motor drives, feeders, and control circuits from short-circuit conditions in industrial environments.
Yes. CHSF-250 is explicitly rated for 500 Vac and 500 Vdc systems, with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating to quickly clear faults, reducing damage to downstream devices and improving overall system reliability in industrial control panels.
CHSF-250 carries UL Recognized and CSA Certified markings and RoHS compliance. These certifications validate safety, compatibility with global standards, and environmental compliance, helping procurement teams meet regulatory requirements and streamline audits across multinational facilities.
The CHSF-250’s fast interruption reduces unplanned downtime and equipment damage, lowering maintenance costs and extending component life. Its non-indicating design and bolt-on mounting also shorten installation time, contributing to faster project startups and a lower total cost of ownership.
