Description
Part of Eaton's advanced CH series, the CHFN115EP delivers 15 amps of equipment-level protection. It utilizes a 30mA ground fault trip threshold, making it ideal for safeguarding well pumps and commercial equipment where standard 5mA GFCIs might experience nuisance tripping. This unit installs into Eaton Type CH load centers, occupying a 3/4-inch space. It features a pigtail neutral connection and replaces the older CHFEP115. Rated 10 kAIC, it includes self-test diagnostics and a trip flag.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat is the difference between the CHFN115EP and the older CH115EP or CHFEP115?
The CHFN115EP is the direct replacement for the legacy CH115EP and CHFEP115 breakers. It features updated self-test diagnostics and a highly visible trip flag while maintaining the same 15A, 30mA equipment protection specifications.
Does the CHFN115EP provide personnel protection like a standard GFCI?
No. This is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to protect equipment such as well pumps or heat trace cables from damage, not to provide the 5mA Class A personnel protection required for bathrooms or kitchens.
Which load centers are compatible with the CHFN115EP?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton Type CH load centers. It requires one 3/4-inch space and connects to the neutral bus bar via the included pigtail wire.
How do I wire the neutral connection for this breaker?
The CHFN115EP features a pigtail neutral. You must connect the coiled white pigtail wire directly to the panel neutral bus bar, and land the circuit neutral wire on the breaker neutral lug.
What applications are best suited for a 30mA GFEP breaker?
GFEP breakers like the CHFN115EP are typically used for dedicated equipment circuits prone to minor leakage current that would cause nuisance tripping on a 5mA GFCI. Common applications include heat trace tape, snow melting equipment, and well pumps.
