Eaton / Cutler-Hammer CH220CAF AFCI Miniature Circuit Breaker

This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton CH series load centers. It will not fit in Eaton BR panels or load centers from other manufacturers due to its specific mounting design.

It requires two 3/4-inch spaces in your load center, which is the standard width for a two-pole CH breaker.

The CH220CAF utilizes a standard pigtail neutral wire that must be routed and connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panel.

It is a combination type AFCI. This means it detects and mitigates both series and parallel arcing faults to help prevent electrical fires in residential wiring.

Yes, because it is a two-pole breaker rated for 120/240V AC, it is suitable for multi-wire branch circuits or dedicated 240V loads that require arc fault protection.

The box lugs accept copper or aluminum wiring ranging from 14 AWG to 6 AWG, providing flexibility for various circuit requirements.

Yes. While this specific model uses a pigtail neutral, Eaton manufactures plug-on neutral equivalents for use in newer CH load centers designed to accept them.

This model includes a built-in LED diagnostic indicator that helps electricians identify whether the trip was caused by a series arc, a parallel arc, or a standard overcurrent event.

The 10kAIC interrupting rating indicates the maximum fault current the breaker can safely clear without sustaining damage. This is the standard rating for most residential applications.

Yes, it features an internal common trip connection. This ensures that both poles trip simultaneously if a fault is detected on either leg of the circuit, completely disconnecting power to the load.
