Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the CHB370 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type PB and Type PH panelboards, as well as compatible meter panels and multi-metering modules.
Can I install the CHB370 in a standard residential load center?
No. The CHB370 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for commercial and industrial Type PB and PH panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers that require Type CH or Type BR breakers.
What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?
The LI designation means the breaker provides Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. Long-Time handles sustained overloads, while Instantaneous trips immediately during severe short circuits. Both settings are fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is the CHB370 considered an Eaton or Cutler-Hammer product?
It is manufactured by Eaton, which acquired Cutler-Hammer. The CHB370 is the direct replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer breakers with the same catalog number and is fully backward compatible with existing Cutler-Hammer PB and PH panelboards.
Does the CHB370 require specialized lugs for installation?
No, it comes factory-equipped with standard box lugs on the load side. These lugs are designed to accept bare wire conductors and do not require specialized ring or spade terminals.
What wire gauge is accepted by the load lugs on the CHB370?
The box lugs on this 70-amp breaker accept wire sizes from 8 AWG up to 2 AWG. Always verify that your conductor size and insulation temperature rating meet local electrical codes for a 70-amp circuit.
