CHN220GF - 20 Amp GFCI Circuit Breaker

CHN220GF - 20 Amp GFCI Circuit Breaker

The Eaton CHN220GF adds a layer of safety where you need it most. Rated at 20 amps and built for 120/240 volt systems, this 2-pole GFCI circuit breaker protects against ground faults by cutting power the moment it senses a leak as small as 5 milliamps. It’s an ideal fit for areas exposed to moisture—like kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, or outdoor circuits—where the risk of shock runs higher. The breaker uses a plug-in design, so you can snap it directly into CH series load centers without complicated wiring. Its common trip function shuts off both poles at once when something goes wrong, which helps prevent electrical damage and keeps things safer. With a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, it’s also strong enough to handle sudden surges or short circuits without breaking a sweat.
