Product FAQs
7 answersCan I use the CHF220 to replace an older CH220 breaker?
Yes, the CHF220 is the direct, upgraded replacement for the legacy CH220. It fits the same Type CH loadcenters but adds a mechanical trip flag for clear visual trip indication.
How much panel space does this 2-pole breaker require?
The CHF220 requires two 3/4-inch spaces in an Eaton or Cutler-Hammer Type CH loadcenter, occupying a total width of 1.5 inches.
Will the CHF220 fit in an Eaton BR loadcenter?
No. Type CH breakers like the CHF220 have a 3/4-inch plug-on design and are exclusively compatible with Type CH loadcenters. They will not fit in 1-inch Type BR panels.
How does the trip flag and reset mechanism work on the CHF220?
When the breaker trips, a mechanical flag appears to visually confirm the tripped status. It also features a 1-step reset design, allowing you to turn the handle directly back to the ON position without having to force it to OFF first.
Is the CHF220 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 20A, 2-pole circuit.
Can I connect two wires to the terminals on the CHF220?
Yes, the box lugs are rated to accept two 14 to 10 AWG copper or aluminum wires. If you are only connecting a single wire, the terminals accept 14 to 8 AWG.
Does the CHF220 feature an internal common trip?
Yes, this 2-pole breaker includes an internal common trip mechanism. If a fault occurs on either leg of the circuit, both poles will open simultaneously to disconnect power safely.

I needed these breakers for an install - first time using the company. They said they had them in stock. Took over a week to fulfil the order and it was 11 or 12 days before I had my hands on them. Tough on my business. Then when I went return them they hit me with so many fees that I was gonna net under $30 on a $104 order. It's too bad this was my first experience with them. I'll be sure to tell my electricians and project managers to never use this company. Short sighted. They won the battle but lost the war with a potential great long term client.
