Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the CHB320 circuit breaker?
The Eaton / Cutler-Hammer CHB320 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for use in Cutler-Hammer Type PB and Type PH panelboards.
Can I use a plug-on CH or BR breaker in place of the CHB320?
No. The CHB320 is a bolt-on circuit breaker. Plug-on breakers like the Eaton CH or BR series have different mounting configurations and will not fit in PB or PH panelboards.
Is the CHB320 breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the CHB320 is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific rating.
How do I reset the CHB320 breaker after it trips?
When tripped, the handle moves to a center position between ON and OFF. To reset the breaker, you must first push the handle completely to the OFF position, and then push it back to the ON position.
Does the CHB320 feature a common trip mechanism?
Yes, this 3-pole breaker features an internal common trip. If an overload or short circuit occurs on any single phase, all three poles will trip simultaneously to disconnect power safely.
What type of wire can be used with the CHB320 breaker?
The box lugs on the CHB320 are rated for both copper and aluminum wire, accommodating sizes from 14 AWG up to 8 AWG.
Are Cutler-Hammer and Eaton CHB320 breakers the exact same product?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to manufacture the CHB series under the Eaton brand. An Eaton CHB320 is the direct replacement for an older Cutler-Hammer CHB320.
