What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the box lugs on the CHB215?
The box lug terminals on this breaker accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 8 AWG. They are rated for use with both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors, providing flexibility for branch circuit wiring.
Can I use this Eaton breaker to replace older Cutler-Hammer or Westinghouse CHB models?
Yes, Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse distribution equipment lines. The Eaton CHB215 is the direct, exact replacement for older Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse breakers bearing the same CHB215 catalog number.
Does the CHB215 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, the CHB215 is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker providing basic overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include GFCI or AFCI safety features.
