Description
A staple for residential wiring, the Eaton CH220 provides 20A of thermal-magnetic protection for 240V branch circuits. This two-pole miniature circuit breaker is commonly deployed for dedicated loads like baseboard heaters or small air conditioning units. It mounts into 3/4-inch spaces within Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. This model crosses over to the CHF220 replacement, which adds a visual trip indicator flag. Rated at 10kAIC, it includes a common trip mechanism.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersCan I install the Eaton CH220 in a Type BR load center?
No. The CH220 is designed exclusively for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. Type CH breakers are 3/4 inches wide per pole, whereas Type BR breakers are 1 inch wide per pole and use a different busbar connection.
Will the CH220 fit in Square D QO or Homeline panels?
No. The CH220 is only UL listed for use in Eaton or Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. Using it in panels from other manufacturers violates UL listings and NEC requirements.
How much panel space does the CH220 require?
As a 2-pole Type CH breaker, it requires two 3/4-inch spaces, taking up a total of 1.5 inches on the busbar.
Can I terminate two wires under the lugs of the CH220?
Yes. The box lugs on the CH220 are rated to accept either a single 14-8 AWG wire or two 14-10 AWG wires, supporting both copper and aluminum conductors.
What is the difference between the CH220 and the CHF220?
The CHF220 is the newer, direct replacement for the CH220. The primary difference is that the CHF220 includes a mechanical trip flag that provides a visual indication when the breaker has tripped. Both are fully interchangeable in Type CH panels.
Does the CH220 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The CH220 is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker providing overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include GFCI or AFCI circuitry.
Is the CH220 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes. The CH220 is HACR rated, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 20A, 2-pole breaker.

- CSChristine S.Verified BuyerReviewingEaton / Cutler-Hammer CH2100-LONG - 100A 2 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5/18/26Got 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.
Very thankful for SuperBreakers!
