Description
Part of the CH series, the Eaton CH215CAF provides 15A, two-pole combination arc-fault protection for residential circuits. It is designed to detect both series and parallel arcing for 120/240V applications. This plug-on breaker installs into Eaton CH load centers and utilizes a standard pigtail neutral connection. It is superseded by the CHN215CAF but remains a direct fit for existing panels.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhich electrical panels accept the CH215CAF breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. It requires two 3/4-inch spaces to accommodate its 2-pole frame.
How is the neutral connected on the CH215CAF?
This breaker uses a standard pigtail neutral. You must route and terminate the attached coiled white wire to the neutral bar in your panel. It is not a plug-on neutral (PON) breaker.
Is there a plug-on neutral (PON) equivalent for the CH215CAF?
Yes. If you have a newer Eaton Type CH panel equipped with a plug-on neutral bar, you can use catalog number CH215CAFPN, which eliminates the need to wire a pigtail.
Can I use this 2-pole AFCI for a multi-wire branch circuit (MWBC)?
Yes. The CH215CAF features an internal common trip and is commonly used to provide arc-fault protection for multi-wire branch circuits that share a single neutral conductor.
What makes this a "Combination" AFCI breaker?
Combination-type AFCIs detect both high-energy parallel arcs (line-to-neutral or line-to-ground) and low-energy series arcs (such as loose connections or damaged cords). This comprehensive detection meets NEC requirements for arc-fault protection in residential living spaces.
Is the CH215CAF suitable for heating and air conditioning circuits?
Yes. Like all Eaton Type CH breakers, this model is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires 15A arc-fault protection.

- CSChristine S.Verified BuyerReviewingEaton / Cutler-Hammer CH2100-LONG - 100A 2 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5/18/26Got 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!
