Product FAQs
8 answersWhat type of electrical panels accept the CH245GFT?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type CH load centers. It will not fit Type BR panels or load centers from other manufacturers.
How much panel space does this 2-pole breaker require?
Type CH breakers are 3/4 inches wide per pole. As a 2-pole breaker, it requires two spaces, taking up a total of 1.5 inches on the bus bar.
How is the neutral connection made on the CH245GFT?
This model features a pigtail neutral wire that must be routed and connected directly to the neutral bar in the panel to ensure proper ground fault detection.
What level of ground fault protection does the GFT suffix indicate?
The GFT designation means this breaker provides 5mA Class A personnel protection. It is designed to trip when it detects a ground fault of 5 milliamps or higher to protect users from electrical shock.
Does this breaker include a self-testing feature?
Yes, the T in the CH245GFT catalog number indicates it includes built-in self-test technology. This feature routinely verifies that the ground fault circuitry is functioning correctly.
What wire sizes are compatible with the box lugs on this breaker?
The terminals accept 14 AWG to 4 AWG copper or aluminum wiring. Always torque the connections to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker.
Can this breaker replace older Cutler-Hammer CH245GF models?
Yes, the CH245GFT is a direct replacement for the legacy CH245GF. It fits the same panels while adding the self-test functionality required by modern electrical codes.
Is this breaker rated for use in wet or damp locations?
Yes, because it provides 5mA Class A GFCI protection, it meets National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for circuits supplying wet or damp areas, such as hot tubs and outdoor equipment.

- CSChristine S.Verified BuyerReviewingEaton / Cutler-Hammer CH2100-LONG - 100A 2 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5/18/26Got a great refurbished breaker - saved a $6500 Service Replacement
When our main breaker frizzed out, the option we were presented with was replacing the entire panel and service due to the type and part - no longer produced for replacement parts. It would be a $6500 replacement.
We'll likely have to do it at some point but, for now, the replacement breaker we were able to source from Superbreakers (with a $25 warranty) was $5900 less expensive. installation ran a few hundred dollars and the tech said the part looked to be in excellent condition and was prepped for install as he would have hoped.
Very thankful for SuperBreakers!
