Product FAQs
7 answersCan an Eaton BR130 be used to replace a Challenger C130?
Yes, Eaton BR series breakers, including the BR130, are UL approved direct replacements for Challenger Type C breakers in Challenger, Westinghouse, and Eaton BR load centers.
Is the Challenger C130 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30A circuit.
What are the terminal specifications for the C130?
The breaker is equipped with box lugs that accept 14 AWG to 4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified by the panel manufacturer.
Does the C130 breaker require a full-size panel space?
Yes, the C130 is a standard 1-inch wide plug-on breaker and requires one full 1-inch space on the panel bus bar.
What panels are UL listed to accept Challenger Type C breakers?
The C130 is compatible with Challenger Type C load centers, as well as Eaton Type BR and Westinghouse Type BR load centers.
How does the trip mechanism function on the C130?
The breaker utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal component provides long-time delay protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component offers instantaneous tripping during short circuit events.
Are there safety considerations when swapping out older Challenger breakers?
When replacing legacy Challenger breakers, verify that the panel label lists Type C or Type BR breakers as acceptable. Eaton BR breakers are the UL classified modern replacements for these legacy systems. Always de-energize the panel before servicing.
