Product FAQs
8 answersCan I install this CH220GFT breaker in a Cutler-Hammer BR series panel?
No. This breaker features a 3/4-inch plug-on footprint specifically designed for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. It is not physically compatible with Type BR panels, which require 1-inch wide breakers.
Can I use the CH220GFT to replace older CH220GF or CH220GFI models?
Yes. The CH220GFT is the direct replacement and modern equivalent for the legacy CH220GF and CH220GFI 20-amp, 2-pole GFCI breakers, bringing the system up to date with self-test functionality.
Does the CH220GFT offer Class A ground fault protection?
Yes. This GFCI breaker provides 5mA Class A personnel protection. It is suitable for spas, pools, bathrooms, and other wet locations that require strict adherence to NEC ground-fault standards.
Does this CH series GFCI breaker include an automatic self-test feature?
Yes. The CH220GFT includes a built-in self-test function that routinely verifies the ground fault circuitry is operating correctly, ensuring continuous safety and compliance.
How does the pigtail neutral on the CH220GFT connect during installation?
The white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center to power the breaker's internal ground fault circuitry. The load neutral wire from the protected circuit then connects directly to the neutral terminal on the breaker.
What does the LIG trip function mean on this breaker?
The LIG designation indicates this thermal-magnetic breaker includes Long-Time (overload), Instantaneous (short-circuit), and Ground-Fault trip functions, providing comprehensive circuit protection in a single device.
Is this 2-pole GFCI breaker suitable for shared neutral multi-wire branch circuits?
Yes. Because it utilizes a common trip mechanism and monitors the net current across both hot legs and the neutral, this 2-pole GFCI breaker can be used to protect multi-wire branch circuits sharing a single neutral conductor.
Is the CH220GFT HACR rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes. This breaker carries a Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HACR) certification, making it suitable for protecting HVAC equipment that requires a 20A, 240V circuit with ground-fault protection.

- 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!
