Delivering reliable 5mA personnel protection, this two-pole interrupter safeguards residential and commercial electrical systems. The plug-on design mounts into Eaton CH series load centers, utilizing a standard pigtail neutral connection for installation. While this specific model has been superseded by the self-testing CH260GFT, it remains a viable solution for maintaining existing panels requiring dedicated ground fault mitigation.
What panels are compatible with the CH260GFI breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton CH series load centers. It requires two 0.75-inch spaces and is not compatible with Eaton BR or other 1-inch panelboards.
What level of ground fault protection does the CH260GFI provide?
It provides Class A ground fault protection with a 5mA trip threshold, which is designed for personnel protection against electrical shock.
Does this breaker provide arc fault protection?
No, the CH260GFI is a dedicated Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). It does not include arc fault (AFCI) protection.
How is the neutral connection made on this breaker?
The CH260GFI features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the neutral bar in your load center to ensure proper ground fault monitoring.
What are the newer self-testing equivalents for the CH260GFI?
Eaton has superseded this model with self-testing versions like the CH260GFT and CHFN260GF. The CH260GFI remains a viable exact replacement for existing panels requiring dedicated ground fault mitigation.
Can this breaker be used in a spa panel?
Yes, the CH260GFI is commonly used as a replacement in 60A Eaton CH spa panels, such as the CHSPA60, to provide dedicated ground fault protection for hot tubs and spas.

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.
