Product FAQs
6 answersWhat is the difference between the Eaton CH260 and CHF260?
The CHF260 is the direct replacement and upgraded version of the legacy CH260. The primary difference is that the CHF series includes a visual trip indicator flag, allowing you to easily distinguish between a tripped state and a manual shutoff. Both models fit the same Type CH load centers.
Can the CHF260 be installed in an Eaton BR series load center?
No. Eaton CH and BR series breakers are built on separate platforms and are not interchangeable. The CHF260 features a 3/4-inch per pole width and specific bus connections designed exclusively for Type CH load centers.
How much panel space does the CHF260 require?
This 2-pole breaker requires two 3/4-inch spaces, occupying a total width of 1.5 inches in a Type CH load center.
Is the CHF260 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires overcurrent protection.
Does this breaker feature a common trip mechanism?
Yes, the CHF260 has an internal common trip connection. If a fault occurs on either leg of the 120/240VAC circuit, both poles will trip simultaneously to disconnect power safely.
Are Cutler-Hammer and Eaton CH breakers the same?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to manufacture the CH product line. A modern Eaton CHF260 is the exact functional equivalent to an older Cutler-Hammer CH260.

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.
