Product FAQs

7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the GHB3045BP8 circuit breaker?

This G-frame breaker is designed to bolt into Eaton Series C panelboards, Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.

Are Eaton and Cutler-Hammer GHB breakers interchangeable?

Yes, Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to manufacture the Series C GHB line. An Eaton GHB3045BP8 is an exact replacement for a legacy Cutler-Hammer breaker with the same catalog number.

Can the GHB3045BP8 be used in reverse feed applications?

Yes, this breaker is suitable for reverse feed installations, providing wiring flexibility for back-fed main or subpanel configurations.

What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this 45A breaker?

The standard factory lugs accommodate #10 through 1/0 AWG conductors and are rated for both copper and aluminum wiring.

How does the trip unit function on the GHB series breakers?

It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. The thermal component provides long-time delay for overloads, while the magnetic component offers instantaneous tripping for short circuits.

Is this Eaton breaker rated for direct current (DC) systems?

Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, it is certified for use in DC applications up to 125/250VDC with a 14kA interrupting capacity.

How is the GHB3045BP8 secured inside the panel?

It features a bolt-on mounting style, which provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection directly to the panel busbar.

    Used model

    Breaker ohm tested out fine and currently working on load test with a longer term battery charger. So far so good. Packaged very well no visible damages during shipping. Even received a follow up call from customer that I missed.

    Good Product, but Disappointed With the Service

    Good product, but I was disappointed with the service. I accidentally placed two separate orders and ended up paying freight on both. I had requested that they combine the orders, and had that been done with the freight waived, it would have saved me money.

    Other than that, everything was good. I’m just disappointed that no one communicated this to me.
