Product FAQs
6 answersCan I use the Challenger C235 in a modern Eaton BR load center?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Challenger line, and Type C breakers are fully interchangeable with Eaton Type BR breakers. They are UL listed for use in Eaton BR, Bryant, and Westinghouse load centers.
What is the modern direct replacement for the Challenger C235?
The modern equivalent manufactured by Eaton is the BR235. Because Eaton integrated the Challenger line into their Type BR family, the BR235 serves as the exact replacement for older C235 units.
Is this breaker compatible with Square D or Siemens electrical panels?
No. The Challenger C235 features a specific plug-on mounting design that is only UL listed for Challenger Type C, Eaton Type BR, and Westinghouse Type BR load centers. It will not safely fit or operate in Square D, Siemens, or GE panels.
Can the C235 be used as a back-fed main breaker?
Yes, this plug-on breaker can function as a back-fed main breaker in a compatible load center, provided it is secured with an approved hold-down retainer kit as required by the National Electrical Code.
Does the C235 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, the C235 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker. It provides long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection but does not include GFCI or AFCI capabilities.
Does this breaker provide HACR protection?
Yes, the C235 is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific type of branch circuit protection.
