A reliable choice for residential power, the Eaton CH270 delivers 70 amps of thermal-magnetic protection. This two-pole breaker safeguards 120/240VAC circuits against overloads and short circuits. Designed for Eaton Type CH load centers, the plug-on mounting ensures a secure connection. Terminals accommodate 14-2 AWG wiring. With a 10 kAIC rating, this HACR-approved breaker is suitable for HVAC systems. The common trip feature guarantees both poles open together during a fault.
What type of load center is compatible with the CH270?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. It features a plug-on mounting design and will not fit in Type BR or other manufacturers' panels.
How much panel space does the CH270 require?
As a 2-pole Type CH breaker, it requires two 3/4-inch spaces in the load center.
Is the CH270 HACR rated for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting compatible heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
What is the temperature rating for the conductors used with this breaker?
The box lug terminals are rated for use with 60 C or 75 C copper or aluminum conductors.
Does this 2-pole breaker feature a common trip mechanism?
Yes, it features an internal common trip connection. This ensures both poles open simultaneously during an overload or short circuit, preventing a single-phasing condition on 240V loads.
Can I use the CH270 to replace an older Cutler-Hammer CH270?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer distribution equipment line. The current Eaton CH270 is the direct replacement for older Cutler-Hammer breakers sharing the same catalog number.

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.
