Eaton CHT1520 CH Breaker - UL 489, 10 kAIC, 120/240V

UL Listed 489 certification and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating deliver robust overcurrent protection. This enables faster fault isolation and reduced downtime across critical electrical panels in production lines and facilities. It is designed for use with Eaton Type CH Loadcenters in 120/240 V distributions, supporting reliable performance in both new builds and upgrades. The deliberate coordination between the device and CH hardware helps maintain selective tripping and prevents unnecessary outages. Plug-on mounting simplifies field installation and minimizes wiring errors. This approach reduces commissioning time and field labor, which translates to lower project costs and faster system bring-ups. The design is compatible with the CH family and standard 120/240V circuits, enabling seamless replacement of older breakers without panel rework. Users appreciate the clear termination guidance and consistent torque requirements for secure connections. Amperage rating of 15-20A with a single-pole configuration provides targeted branch-circuit protection. This supports selective protection, enhances fault isolation, and reduces the risk of cascading trips in multi-circuit panels. In maintenance and design workflows, the 15-20A range aligns with common lighting and outlet circuits, improving design flexibility. The CHT type designation ensures compatibility with CH Loadcenters across Eaton's low-voltage portfolio. Compact dimensions—0.7 in depth, 2.6 in height, and 0.5 in width—enable densely packed panel layouts. This slim form factor reduces installed weight and simplifies logistics for retrofit projects and field upgrades. It remains compatible with CH Loadcenters and standard DIN rail configurations. Voltage rating of 120/240 V and 50–60 Hz compatibility ensures broad applicability across US distribution networks. Thermal magnetic operation with a switching duty rating and HCAR rating provides reliable performance under steady and surge conditions. These characteristics support regulatory compliance, safer panels, and a longer service life in industrial control applications.
