CH115CAFACS - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

CH115CAFACS - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The CH115CAFACS is a 15 Amp, 1-pole Type CHCAF circuit breaker designed for use in compatible CH load centers and panelboards. If you're replacing an existing AFCI breaker, matching the breaker type is every bit as important as matching the amp rating. This model combines standard overcurrent protection with Combination Type Arc Fault Circuit Interruption (CAFCI), making it suitable for applications where arc fault protection is required as part of the original electrical system design.

Unlike a standard breaker that responds to overloads and short circuits, the CH115CAFACS is also designed to detect certain arc fault conditions that can develop in branch circuit wiring. That's why these breakers are commonly found on residential circuits serving living spaces, bedrooms, hallways, and similar areas.

The plug-on design allows the breaker to install in compatible CH equipment without modifying the panel. With a 10kA interrupting rating at 120VAC, the CH115CAFACS is intended for branch circuit protection in residential applications where Combination Arc Fault protection is required.
