Part of the CH family, this 35A, two-pole miniature circuit breaker is designed for commercial power distribution. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for branch circuits. The bolt-on configuration installs into Cutler-Hammer Type PB and PH panelboards, as well as compatible meter panels. It utilizes box lug terminals for 8-4 AWG wire. Rated at 10kAIC, it features a Visi-Trip handle that rests in a central position when tripped, making it easy to identify faults quickly.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the CHB235 circuit breaker?
The CHB235 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed for use in Cutler-Hammer Type PB panelboards, Type PH panelboards, and compatible meter panels. It is not compatible with standard plug-on CH load centers.
How does the CHB235 mount into the panelboard?
This breaker features a bolt-on connection type. It secures directly to the panelboard bus using screws, providing a secure, vibration-resistant connection commonly required in commercial applications.
Is the CHB235 interchangeable with standard CH series breakers?
No. While they share similar thermal-magnetic trip profiles, CHB breakers like the CHB235 are bolt-on units intended for PB and PH panelboards. Standard CH breakers are plug-on units used in residential load centers and will not fit bolt-on applications.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the CHB235?
The box lugs on this 35-amp breaker are designed to accept wire gauges ranging from 8 AWG to 4 AWG. Always ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation to maintain a secure connection.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit operate on the CHB235?
It uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. The thermal element protects against mild, prolonged overloads, while the magnetic element reacts immediately to severe short circuits.
Does the CHB235 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, the CHB235 is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. It does not include built-in Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) protection.
