Product FAQs
5 answersWhat type of electrical panel is required for the CHFCAF120PN breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Eaton Type CH Plug-On Neutral load centers. It will not fit standard pigtail-style panels or BR series load centers.
Does the CHFCAF120PN require a pigtail connection to the neutral bus?
No. This is a Plug-On Neutral breaker, which eliminates the need for a pigtail wire. It connects directly to the neutral bar in a compatible Type CH PON load center, reducing panel clutter and speeding up installation.
What type of protection does the CHFCAF120PN provide?
It is a Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter. It provides comprehensive protection against dangerous high-current and low-current arcing conditions in branch circuits, helping to prevent electrical fires and meeting NEC arc-fault requirements.
What is the difference between the CHFCAF120PN and the CHFP120AF?
Both are 20A, 1-pole, Type CH Plug-On Neutral combination AFCI breakers. Eaton has updated their catalog numbers over time, so the CHFP120AF and CHFCAF120PN are direct cross-references and serve the exact same function in Type CH PON panels.
Does the CHFCAF120PN include diagnostic features for troubleshooting?
Yes. The CHF series includes a visual trip flag to easily differentiate between a tripped state and a breaker that has been manually turned off. It also features diagnostic LED indicators to help identify the cause of an arc fault trip.

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.
