Delivering reliable 10kAIC protection at 240VAC, the Eaton CHB360 is a 3-pole, 60-amp miniature circuit breaker for commercial environments. It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a quick-make, quick-break mechanism to ensure responsive operation. This bolt-on breaker mounts into Cutler-Hammer Type PB and PH panelboards, along with compatible meter panels. It includes box lug terminals for 8-2 AWG wire. It features a trip-free mechanism and is HACR rated for HVAC applications.

Product FAQs
8 answers
What panelboards accept the CHB360 circuit breaker?
The CHB360 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for Cutler-Hammer Type PB and Type PH distribution panelboards, as well as compatible meter panels. It is not compatible with standard residential load centers.
Can I use a BAB series breaker in place of the CHB360?
No. While both are Eaton bolt-on breakers, BAB breakers are designed for Pow-R-Line panelboards, whereas CHB breakers like the CHB360 are specifically designed for Type PB and PH distribution panelboards. They are not interchangeable.
How is the CHB360 secured inside the panelboard?
As a bolt-on breaker, the CHB360 fastens directly to the panelboard bus bar using screws. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection commonly required in commercial and industrial applications.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit in the CHB360 operate?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit provides dual protection. The thermal element offers inverse-time response to safely handle mild overloads, while the magnetic element reacts instantaneously to clear severe short-circuit faults.
Does the CHB360 feature a common trip mechanism?
Yes, this 3-pole breaker features an internal common trip connection. If an overcurrent or short circuit occurs on any single phase, the mechanism will operate all three poles simultaneously to disconnect the entire circuit.
How do I reset the CHB360 after a trip event?
When the CHB360 trips, the handle moves to a center position between ON and OFF. To reset the breaker, you must first push the handle firmly to the full OFF position before switching it back to ON.
Is the CHB360 rated for use with HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 60-amp, 3-pole circuit.
What wire sizes do the terminals on the CHB360 accept?
The breaker is equipped with standard box lug terminals that accommodate copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 8 AWG to 2 AWG, ensuring proper sizing for 60-amp loads.
