Designed for standard branch circuits, the Eaton CH250 delivers 50 amps of thermal-magnetic protection. It utilizes a 3/4-inch per pole format to save panel space. It mounts into standard Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. This unit replaces older models and can be upgraded to the CHF250. With a 10kAIC rating at 120/240V, this two-pole breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for dedicated HVAC circuits and heavy loads.
Can I install the CH250 in an Eaton BR or Square D load center?
No. The CH250 is designed exclusively for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer CH series load centers. It features a 3/4-inch per pole width, which will not fit in panels designed for standard 1-inch breakers like the Eaton BR or Square D series.
Is the Eaton CH250 breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the CH250 is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific circuit protection.
How much panel space does the CH250 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 bus bar.
Are Eaton CH250 and Cutler-Hammer CH250 the same breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to manufacture the CH series under the Eaton name. A breaker labeled Eaton CH250 is an exact replacement for an older Cutler-Hammer CH250.
Does the CH250 provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the CH250 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include ground fault (GFCI) or arc fault (AFCI) circuitry.

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.
