Description
Engineered to meet strict NEC safety codes, the Eaton CHFGF130 offers robust 30A ground-fault protection for demanding circuits. This 1-pole device utilizes a pigtail neutral connection to accurately monitor current imbalances and prevent electrical shock in damp environments. Designed for a precise fit, it easily installs into Eaton Type CH panelboards via a standard plug-on mount. This model replaces the older CH130GF. Operating with a 10 kAIC capacity, it includes a visual trip indicator.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersCan I install the CHFGF130 in an Eaton BR load center?
No. The CHFGF130 is a Type CH breaker, which has a 3/4-inch width per pole. Eaton BR load centers require 1-inch wide breakers and are mechanically incompatible with Type CH breakers.
What is the difference between the older CH130GF and the CHFGF130?
The CHFGF130 features a mechanical trip flag that provides a clear visual indication when the breaker has tripped, a feature absent on the older CH130GF. Both are fully interchangeable in Eaton Type CH load centers.
How is the neutral connection made on the CHFGF130?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center to ensure proper ground fault protection.
What wire sizes are accepted by the CHFGF130 box lugs?
The terminals accept either one 14-8 AWG copper or aluminum wire, or two 14-10 AWG copper or aluminum wires.
What level of ground fault protection does the CHFGF130 provide?
As a Class A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), this breaker is designed for personnel protection and will trip when it detects a ground fault current imbalance of 4 to 6 milliamps.
Will the CHFGF130 fit in a Square D QO panel?
No. Although both Eaton Type CH and Square D QO breakers are 3/4-inch wide, they have different mounting designs and are not interchangeable. The CHFGF130 is only listed for use in Eaton or Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers.
What types of faults does the CHFGF130 protect against?
It provides comprehensive protection by combining thermal-magnetic trip functions for overloads and short circuits with a 5mA ground fault sensor to protect personnel from electrical shock.

I needed these breakers for an install - first time using the company. They said they had them in stock. Took over a week to fulfil the order and it was 11 or 12 days before I had my hands on them. Tough on my business. Then when I went return them they hit me with so many fees that I was gonna net under $30 on a $104 order. It's too bad this was my first experience with them. I'll be sure to tell my electricians and project managers to never use this company. Short sighted. They won the battle but lost the war with a potential great long term client.
