Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the Eaton CHB3080?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed specifically for installation in Cutler-Hammer Type PB and Type PH panelboards, as well as compatible commercial meter panels.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the CHB3080?
The standard box lugs on this breaker accommodate copper or aluminum wiring ranging from 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG. Ensure you follow the panel manufacturer torque specifications during installation.
How does the CHB3080 mount into the panelboard?
It features a bolt-on mounting design. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection to the panelboard bus bar, which is often required in commercial and industrial environments.
What type of trip protection does the CHB3080 provide?
It uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal component provides long-time protection against gradual overloads, while the magnetic component offers instantaneous protection against short circuits.
Is the Eaton CHB3080 the same as a Cutler-Hammer CHB3080?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, so the Eaton CHB3080 is the direct, exact replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer breakers with the same catalog number.
Can I install a CHB3080 in a standard residential load center?
No. The CHB series features a bolt-on connection designed for commercial Type PB and PH panelboards. Standard residential load centers typically require plug-on breakers like the standard CH series.
