Product FAQs
6 answersWhat loadcenters are compatible with the CHFEP115 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH loadcenters. It requires a 3/4-inch space per pole and connects via a plug-on mounting style.
What is the ground fault trip level for the CHFEP115?
The CHFEP115 is a Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP) with a 30 mA trip sensitivity. It is designed to protect equipment from damaging ground faults, unlike Class A GFCI breakers which have a 5 mA threshold.
How does the trip flag function on the CHFEP115?
The CHF series features a built-in trip flag indicator. This visual flag allows you to easily differentiate between a breaker that has actively tripped due to a fault and one that has been manually turned to the OFF position.
Does this breaker require a plug-on neutral loadcenter?
No, the CHFEP115 features a pigtail neutral connection. The attached pigtail wire must be routed and connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the loadcenter to ensure proper ground fault protection.
Can the CHFEP115 replace the older CH115EPD breaker?
Yes, the CHFEP115 is the direct replacement for the legacy CH115EPD. It fits the same Type CH loadcenters and upgrades the design with a visual trip flag indicator.
Is the CHFEP115 suitable for personnel protection?
No. As a Ground Fault Equipment Protector (GFEP) with a 30 mA trip level, it is designed to protect equipment such as heat tracing or snow melting cables. It does not provide the 5 mA Class A personnel protection required for bathrooms, kitchens, or pools.

I needed these breakers for an install - first time using the company. They said they had them in stock. Took over a week to fulfil the order and it was 11 or 12 days before I had my hands on them. Tough on my business. Then when I went return them they hit me with so many fees that I was gonna net under $30 on a $104 order. It's too bad this was my first experience with them. I'll be sure to tell my electricians and project managers to never use this company. Short sighted. They won the battle but lost the war with a potential great long term client.
