Engineered for reliable power distribution, the Eaton CH235 is a 35-amp, two-pole miniature breaker. It provides essential thermal-magnetic protection for 240V residential and commercial circuits, making it ideal for dedicated HVAC or heating equipment. The breaker installs into Eaton CH load centers, occupying two standard 3/4-inch spaces. It accommodates 14-2 AWG wire and serves as the predecessor to the updated CHF235 model. With a 10 kAIC interrupting capacity, it includes a common trip.
This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer CH series load centers. It will not fit in BR series or other manufacturers' panels due to its specific mounting clip and bus structure.
Will this breaker fit in an Eaton BR load center?
No. Eaton CH breakers have a 3/4-inch per pole width and a unique mounting clip, whereas BR breakers are 1-inch wide per pole. They are not interchangeable.
How much panel space does the CH235 require?
As a 2-pole CH series breaker, it requires two 3/4-inch spaces, taking up a total of 1.5 inches of width on the panel bus.
Is the CH235 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific rating.
Does the CH235 provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker. It provides overload and short-circuit protection but does not include Ground Fault (GFCI) or Arc Fault (AFCI) circuitry.
What is the difference between the CH235 and the CHF235?
The CH235 is the standard version, while the CHF235 is the updated model that includes a mechanical trip flag indicator. Both are 35A, 2-pole breakers that fit the same CH load centers.
Can I use aluminum wire with the CH235?
Yes, the box lugs on this breaker are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 2 AWG.
How does the trip mechanism operate on this 2-pole breaker?
It utilizes an internal common trip mechanism. If a fault or overload occurs on either phase, both poles will open simultaneously to safely disconnect the entire 240V circuit.

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.
