CH1040 - 40Amp Circuit Breaker Description
CH1040 - 40Amp Circuit Breaker
The CH1040 is a 40 amp, 1-pole bolt-on circuit breaker used in compatible CH-type panelboards and electrical distribution equipment. You'll typically find this breaker in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, apartment complexes, and light industrial applications where branch circuit protection is required. When you're maintaining an existing system, matching the original breaker specifications is often important, and the CH1040 provides the ratings and configuration used in many CH installations.
This breaker features a thermal magnetic trip unit with a non-interchangeable trip design. Rated 14kA at 277VAC, it is commonly used on lighting circuits, HVAC equipment, refrigeration systems, control panels, and general power distribution circuits. The bolt-on mounting style provides a secure connection within compatible equipment, making it a common choice for maintenance, repair, and replacement projects.
Electricians and facility maintenance teams often use this breaker when servicing existing CH panelboards because it matches the mounting style and electrical ratings required by the original equipment.
