The CH215 is a 15A, two-pole miniature circuit breaker from Eaton's Cutler-Hammer division, designed for residential and light commercial applications. This plug-on breaker installs into Type CH load centers and accepts #14-8 AWG wiring. It is a legacy model replaced by the newer CHF215, which adds a visual trip flag. Rated at 10 kAIC at 120/240V, it features a common trip mechanism to ensure both poles open simultaneously. It is HACR rated for HVAC equipment.
The CH215 is designed exclusively for Eaton CH series load centers, formerly Cutler-Hammer. It features a 3/4-inch per pole format and will not fit BR series or other manufacturer panels.
Can I use this breaker in a Square D QO panel?
No. Although both are 3/4-inch format breakers, the CH215 is not UL listed or physically compatible with Square D QO load centers.
How much panel space does the CH215 require?
As a 2-pole CH series breaker, it requires two 3/4-inch spaces, taking up a total of 1.5 inches on the bus bar.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the standard CH215 provides only thermal-magnetic overload and short-circuit protection. For ground fault or arc fault protection, a CH215GF, CH215AF, or dual-function variant is required.
What is the difference between the CH215 and the BR215?
The CH215 is a 3/4-inch breaker designed for CH series panels, while the BR215 is a 1-inch breaker designed for BR series panels. They are not interchangeable.
What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?
The LI code indicates that the breaker includes Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function trips immediately during a short circuit.
Does the CH215 require a neutral connection?
No, the standard CH215 is a 2-pole thermal-magnetic breaker that does not require a neutral connection for its operation. Neutral connections are only required for AFCI or GFCI variants.
Is the CH215 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration equipment and can handle the inrush current typical of motor-driven compressors.

Got a great refurbished breaker - saved a $6500 Service Replacement
When our main breaker frizzed out, the option we were presented with was replacing the entire panel and service due to the type and part - no longer produced for replacement parts. It would be a $6500 replacement.
We'll likely have to do it at some point but, for now, the replacement breaker we were able to source from Superbreakers (with a $25 warranty) was $5900 less expensive. installation ran a few hundred dollars and the tech said the part looked to be in excellent condition and was prepped for install as he would have hoped.
