FAQs
The CL250CS is a CL Type classified replacement designed for CH Loadcenters. It is intended to replace legacy breakers from brands such as Square D Homeline and GE THQ, among others listed in Eaton's catalog notes. It is a two-pole unit occupying two spaces in CH panels, optimized for 120/240 V operation.
Key specs include a 50 A amperage rating, 120/240 V nominal voltage, 10 kAIC interrupt rating, two-pole configuration, UL 489 certification, and CL classification. The device fits CH Loadcenters and weighs about 2.18 lb, with overall dimensions of 7.25 in length, 6.5 in height, and 4.48 in width.
Yes. The CL250CS uses a common breaker trip design, ensuring both poles trip together for coordinated protection. This is essential for 120/240 V circuits in CH Loadcenters and helps prevent partial trips that could damage connected equipment or compromise safety.
The CL250CS carries UL 489 certification, indicating compliance with recognized safety and performance standards for low-voltage circuit breakers. This certification supports reliable operation, simplifies regulatory compliance for industrial installations, and enhances cross-brand replacement confidence in mixed-brand panel configurations.
Using the CL250CS in maintenance reduces downtime through guaranteed compatibility with CH Loadcenters and legacy panel replacements. Its classified compatibility lowers spare-part inventory complexity, improves installation speed, and minimizes risk of nonconforming parts, delivering tangible cost savings over traditional cross-brand replacements in industrial facilities.
