Eaton / Cutler-Hammer CH250GFT GFCI Miniature Circuit Breaker

No. The CH250GFT is designed exclusively for Eaton CH series load centers, which use a 3/4-inch breaker format. Eaton BR panels require 1-inch wide breakers and are not compatible.

Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer but retained the CH series product line. Breakers branded as Cutler-Hammer CH250GFT are functionally and physically identical to those branded as Eaton.

The CH250GFT is a Class A GFCI circuit breaker. It provides personnel protection by tripping when a ground fault leakage current of 4 to 6 milliamps (mA) is detected.

As a 2-pole CH series breaker, it requires two adjacent 3/4-inch spaces on the bus bar, taking up a total width of 1.5 inches in the load center.

Yes. The white pigtail wire must be terminated at the panel neutral bus. This connection powers the internal electronics and the self-test circuitry of the GFCI breaker, even if the load itself is strictly 240V without a neutral.

This breaker is typically installed to protect dedicated 50A, 240V circuits that require ground fault protection by code. Common applications include hot tubs, spas, pool equipment panels, and 50-amp RV receptacles.

Yes, current production models of the CH250GFT feature an automated ground fault self-test function. The breaker periodically tests its internal GFCI circuitry to ensure continuous personnel protection.
