Product FAQs
6 answers
What panelboards accept the CHB225 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for installation in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type PB panelboards, Type PH panelboards, and compatible meter panels.
Can the CHB225 be used in reverse feed applications?
Yes, standard thermal magnetic CHB breakers without line and load markings are suitable for reverse feed or back-feeding applications. You must use an approved retaining bracket to secure the breaker to the panel when back-feeding.
Is the CHB225 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires HACR type overcurrent protection.
Can I use a CHB225 in place of a standard CH breaker?
No. While they share similar trip profiles, the CHB225 is a bolt-on breaker for commercial panelboards. Standard CH breakers are plug-on devices designed for residential load centers and are not interchangeable.
Does the CHB225 offer ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, this is a standard thermal magnetic breaker that provides long-time and instantaneous trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not contain GFCI or AFCI safety circuitry.
What wire material is compatible with the CHB225 box lugs?
The box lug terminals on this breaker are rated to accept both copper and aluminum wiring between 14 AWG and 8 AWG.
