CHF230 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

CHF230 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton CHF230 is a 30 Amp, 2-pole circuit breaker for use in compatible Type CH loadcenters. It's commonly used when replacing an existing CHF-series breaker or maintaining a CH panel that requires a 30-amp, 120/240-volt common-trip breaker.

This model features a common-trip design, so both poles trip together when a fault occurs. That's typically required on many 240-volt circuits and equipment loads.

The CHF230 uses a thermal magnetic trip mechanism and carries a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It installs in two 3/4-inch spaces within compatible CH loadcenters and is rated for use on 120/240V electrical systems. Because it is UL 489 listed and HACR rated, it can be used in a variety of approved residential and light commercial applications.

Whether you're replacing a failed breaker, matching an existing panel configuration, or performing routine electrical maintenance, the CHF230 provides the form, fit, and function expected from the Eaton CH family.
