Product FAQs

6 answers
Can the GHC2020 be mounted on a standard DIN rail?

Yes, this unit mount breaker can be installed on a DIN rail, but it requires a separate Eaton DIN rail adapter plate for proper mounting in control panels.

Can this breaker be used on a straight 480V ungrounded delta system?

No. The 480Y/277VAC rating indicates it is strictly for use on solidly grounded wye systems where the voltage to ground does not exceed 277V. It is not rated for 480V delta or ungrounded systems.

Will the GHC2020 fit in a standard BR or CH residential load center?

No, the GHC frame is a unit mount molded case circuit breaker designed for industrial control panels, OEM machinery, and Series C enclosures. It does not snap or bolt into standard residential load centers.

Can the Eaton GHC2020 replace older Cutler-Hammer GHC breakers?

Yes, Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, and the product lines are identical. A modern Eaton GHC2020 is a direct, drop-in replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer or Westinghouse breakers bearing the same GHC2020 catalog number.

Is the GHC2020 suitable for reverse feed applications?

Standard thermal magnetic molded case circuit breakers without specific Line and Load markings are generally suitable for reverse feeding. You must verify the faceplate of your specific unit for any directional markings before backfeeding.

Are the thermal and magnetic trip points adjustable on this model?

No, the GHC2020 features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements. If your application requires adjustable trip settings, you will need to select a different frame or trip unit within the Series C family.
