Product FAQs
5 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the CHB125 breaker?
The CHB125 is specifically designed for Cutler-Hammer Type PB and Type PH panelboards. Because it uses a bolt-on mounting configuration, it cannot be installed in standard plug-on load centers.
How does this breaker connect to the panelboard bus?
This is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It fastens directly to the panelboard busbar using screws, which provides a highly secure, vibration-resistant connection suitable for commercial and industrial environments.
What type of trip unit does the CHB125 utilize?
It is equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal element responds to prolonged overcurrent conditions, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous tripping to protect against short circuits.
Can I use aluminum wiring with the CHB125?
Yes, the box lug terminals are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 8 AWG. Always apply an approved oxide inhibitor when terminating aluminum wire.
Does Eaton still manufacture the Cutler-Hammer CHB series?
Yes, Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to produce the CHB series. The CHB125 serves as a direct, exact replacement for older 25-amp, 1-pole CHB breakers in existing PB and PH panels.
