Product FAQs
6 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the CH240PMPCI?
This 2-pole breaker is designed exclusively for Cutler-Hammer and Eaton Type CH load centers. It mounts using a plug-on configuration and requires two 3/4-inch spaces.
What does the PMPCI suffix indicate on this CH series breaker?
PMPCI stands for Power Manager Power Circuit Interrupter. These are specialized remote-controlled branch circuit breakers designed to integrate with Cutler-Hammer Power Manager systems for automated load control and energy monitoring.
What wire gauge is accepted by the terminals on this 40A breaker?
The box lugs on the CH240PMPCI accept 14 AWG to 2 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Ensure connections are torqued to the manufacturer specifications printed directly on the breaker.
Is the CH240PMPCI suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 40A, 2-pole circuit.
Can a standard CH240 replace the CH240PMPCI?
If your application does not require the remote load control or submetering features of the Power Manager system, a standard Eaton CH240 or CHF240 can provide the same 40A thermal-magnetic protection in a Type CH panel.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism operate on this breaker?
The breaker uses long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. The thermal element prevents nuisance tripping during mild, temporary overloads, while the magnetic element reacts immediately to clear severe short-circuit faults.

- 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!
