FAQs
Turn off power, verify panel compatibility, remove the cover, and connect the CLCAF120 to the designated line and load terminals per Eaton installation instructions. Re-tighten terminations, reassemble the panel, and test the arc-fault function using the panel's test procedures. Ensure labeling is updated to reflect AFCI protection for the circuit.
The CLCAF120 is a 20 A, single-pole AFCI circuit breaker with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It is designed for 1-inch panel spaces and has dimensions of 6 in length, 1.25 in height, and 3.5 in width, with a weight of approximately 0.45 lb.
Yes. The CLCAF120 is intended for residential and light commercial branch circuits that require AFCI protection, providing arc-fault detection, code compliance support, and reliable operation in typical panel environments.
Certifications for AFCI breakers vary by region; Eaton lists CLCAF120 with manufacturer-provided compliances and certifications. To verify current approvals, consult the official Eaton datasheet (CLCAF120) and local code requirements, contacting Eaton support if needed for up-to-date UL, CSA, or CE listings.
Maintenance is typically minimal beyond periodic testing and replacement upon wear or failure. The ROI comes from improved safety, reduced nuisance trips, faster fault isolation, and easier compliance with arc-fault requirements, which can lower risk-related downtime and potential fire hazards in occupied facilities.
