Product FAQs

6 answers
What panels are compatible with the Eaton CHB140 circuit breaker?

The CHB140 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for Cutler-Hammer Type PB and Type PH panelboards, as well as compatible commercial meter panels.

Can I install the CHB140 in a standard Cutler-Hammer CH loadcenter?

No. Standard CH series loadcenters require plug-on Type CH breakers. The CHB140 features a bolt-on connection and will not fit standard plug-on residential loadcenters.

Is the CHB140 HACR rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes, Eaton CHB series breakers, including the CHB140, are HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Does the Eaton CHB140 replace older Cutler-Hammer CHB breakers?

Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to manufacture the CHB140 as a direct replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer branded CHB140 breakers.

Is the 40-amp CHB140 SWD rated for switching lighting loads?

No. SWD (Switching Duty) ratings for switching fluorescent lighting loads are typically only applied to 15-amp and 20-amp circuit breakers.

How do I reset a tripped CHB140 circuit breaker?

When the CHB140 trips, the handle moves to a center position between ON and OFF. To reset it, you must first push the handle firmly to the full OFF position before moving it back to the ON position.
