Built for residential and commercial service entrances, the Eaton CSH2200N is a 200A, two-pole main circuit breaker. It provides essential thermal-magnetic protection for the entire electrical panel. This bolt-on breaker mounts into Eaton CH load centers and Type ECB unit enclosures, replacing the older CSR2200N model. Featuring a robust 35 kAIC interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, it accommodates #2 AWG to 300 kcmil wire and includes oversized load-side lugs.
Which load centers and enclosures are compatible with the CSH2200N?
The CSH2200N is primarily used as a 200A main breaker in Eaton CH load centers and Type ECB unit enclosures. It is also compatible with select Eaton BR load centers and meter mains that are designed to accept CSR or CSH frame main breakers.
What is the difference between the Eaton CSH2200N and the CSR2200N?
Both are 200A main breakers that share the same physical frame, but they have different interrupting ratings. The CSR2200N is rated at 25 kAIC, while the CSH2200N is rated at 35 kAIC. The CSH2200N can be used as a direct upgrade for the CSR2200N in systems requiring higher fault current protection.
What wire sizes are accepted by the load-side lugs on the CSH2200N?
The factory-installed lugs on this breaker accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 2 AWG to 300 kcmil. Always ensure conductors are torqued to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker label during installation.
Can I install the 35 kAIC CSH2200N in a panel rated for 10 kAIC or 25 kAIC?
Yes. The 35 kAIC interrupting rating indicates the maximum fault current the breaker can safely clear. It is fully backward compatible and safe to use in systems with lower available fault currents, such as 10 kAIC or 25 kAIC.
How does the CSH2200N mount inside the electrical panel?
This main breaker features a plug-in connection to the panel bus bars but requires bolt-on mounting hardware to secure it to the backpan. This ensures a stable, secure connection for the main service feed.
What does the LI trip function on the CSH2200N indicate?
The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit includes Long-Time (thermal) and Instantaneous (magnetic) protection. The Long-Time function protects against sustained overloads, while the Instantaneous function clears severe short circuits. Both settings are fixed on this breaker.
