Description

Detecting minute current leaks as low as 5mA, this 20-amp device protects users from severe electrical shocks. Installing this unit helps homes meet strict NEC codes for receptacles located near water sources, such as basements or utility sinks. Designed specifically for Cutler-Hammer and Eaton CH type load centers, the breaker utilizes a standard plug-on configuration with a wired pigtail neutral. While currently replaced by the CHFN120GF, it serves as an exact match for older installations.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What type of electrical panel is this breaker compatible with?

The CH120GFI is designed exclusively for Eaton CH series load centers, which feature a 3/4-inch breaker spacing. It will not fit Eaton BR series panels or load centers from other manufacturers.

What is the ground fault trip threshold for this breaker?

The CH120GFI is a Class A GFCI breaker, meaning it is calibrated to trip when it detects a ground fault current of 5mA. This rating is specifically designed for personnel protection against electrical shock.

How is the neutral connection wired on this breaker?

The CH120GFI features a pigtail neutral design. The attached white coiled wire must be routed and connected directly to the neutral bus bar in your load center to ensure proper ground fault detection.

Is there a plug-on neutral equivalent for this breaker?

Yes. If you are installing this in a newer Eaton CH plug-on neutral load center, you can use catalog number CHFP120GF. That version eliminates the pigtail wire for a cleaner installation.

Does this breaker provide arc fault protection?

No, the CH120GFI provides dedicated ground fault (GFCI) protection only. It does not include arc fault (AFCI) protection. If your circuit requires dual-function AFCI/GFCI protection, a different breaker model is required.

How do you verify the ground fault protection is working after installation?

Once installed and energized, press the test button on the front of the breaker. The breaker should immediately trip, confirming the internal ground fault circuitry is functioning correctly.

    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!
