Product FAQs

6 answers
What load centers are compatible with the CH250GFI breaker?

This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. It requires two 3/4-inch spaces. It will not fit in Type BR panels or other 1-inch load centers.

How is the neutral connected on the CH250GFI?

This breaker features a pigtail neutral design. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panel's neutral bus bar, while the neutral wire from the load connects to the designated neutral lug on the breaker.

What is the ground fault trip threshold for the CH250GFI?

This breaker provides Class A ground fault protection, meaning it is designed to trip when it detects a ground fault leakage current of 5mA (milliamps).

Is there a difference between the Cutler-Hammer CH250GFI and the Eaton CH250GFI?

No. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to manufacture the CH series under the Eaton name. They are fully interchangeable and represent the exact same breaker.

Is the CH250GFI HACR rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes, all Eaton Type CH circuit breakers are HACR rated, making this breaker suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires 50-amp ground fault protection.

Can the CH250GFI be used for hot tub or spa disconnects?

Yes. This 50A GFCI breaker is commonly used to protect hot tubs and spas, and it is the exact replacement breaker used inside the Eaton CH50SPA 50-amp spa panel.

    Got a great refurbished breaker - saved a $6500 Service Replacement

    When our main breaker frizzed out, the option we were presented with was replacing the entire panel and service due to the type and part - no longer produced for replacement parts. It would be a $6500 replacement.

    We'll likely have to do it at some point but, for now, the replacement breaker we were able to source from Superbreakers (with a $25 warranty) was $5900 less expensive. installation ran a few hundred dollars and the tech said the part looked to be in excellent condition and was prepped for install as he would have hoped.

    Very thankful for SuperBreakers!
