Product FAQs
7 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the CH115CAFPN circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Eaton or Cutler-Hammer CH series load centers equipped with a plug-on neutral bar. It will not fit BR series panels or standard CH panels that require a pigtail neutral connection.
Does the CH115CAFPN require a pigtail wire for the neutral connection?
No. The PN suffix in the catalog number indicates a Plug-On Neutral design. It connects directly to the neutral bar in a compatible plug-on neutral load center, eliminating the need for a traditional pigtail wire and saving installation time.
What is the difference between the CH115CAF and the CH115CAFPN?
Both are 15-amp combination arc fault breakers for CH panels. However, the CH115CAF uses a traditional pigtail wire to connect to the neutral bar, while the CH115CAFPN features a plug-on neutral connection that snaps directly onto the neutral bar in compatible panels.
What type of arc fault protection does the CH115CAFPN provide?
This is a Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI). It provides standard thermal-magnetic overload and short-circuit protection while also detecting both high-energy parallel arcs and low-energy series arcs to mitigate electrical fire hazards.
How can I diagnose a tripped CH115CAFPN breaker?
Eaton CH AFCI breakers feature a diagnostic LED. After a trip, turning the breaker back on will cause the LED to blink a specific error code up to 30 times. These blinks correspond to different fault types, such as a series arc or parallel arc, helping electricians quickly identify the circuit issue.
Can I terminate two wires on the CH115CAFPN breaker?
Yes, the box lugs on this breaker are rated to accept either a single wire from 14 to 8 AWG, or two wires from 14 to 10 AWG, using copper or aluminum conductors.
How much panel space does the CH115CAFPN require?
This single-pole miniature circuit breaker requires one standard 3/4-inch space in an Eaton CH plug-on neutral load center.

- 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!
