Eaton Cutler-Hammer CHF120 Circuit Breaker
The Eaton Cutler-Hammer CHF120 is a professional-grade, single-pole 20 amp circuit breaker engineered for high-performance protection within Eaton Type CH load centers. As a veteran-preferred 3/4-inch circuit breaker, the CHF120 utilizes a specialized thermal-magnetic trip curve to mitigate nuisance tripping while providing instantaneous response during severe short-circuit events. Unlike standard CH models, this Type CHF breaker features a mechanical trip flag, providing a high-visibility visual indicator that allows contractors to distinguish between a manual shut-off and a tripped state at a glance. Built with a 10 kAIC interrupting rating and HACR duty rating, it is fully compatible with residential and light commercial HVACR equipment. The plug-on installation design ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection, while the tri-drive screw terminal accommodates multiple driver types for efficient field wiring. Whether you are performing a panel upgrade or replacing an older CH unit, the Eaton CHF120 20A breaker offers the reliability and diagnostic clarity required by modern electrical codes.
Key Benefits- Instant Diagnostics: The integrated mechanical trip flag eliminates guesswork by clearly showing when a circuit has tripped.
- Space-Saving Profile: The 3/4-inch width allows for higher circuit density compared to standard 1-inch residential breakers.
- Reliable Termination: Features a tri-drive screw (Phillips, Flat, and Robertson) for secure torque on #14-8 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
- Versatile Application: HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
- Quick Reset: Efficient 1-step reset functionality ensures faster restoration of power for your clients.
Is the CHF120 compatible with BR series panels?
No. The Eaton CHF120 is designed specifically for Type CH load centers. It will not fit in BR series (1-inch) or other manufacturer panels.
Can I use this breaker to replace an older CH120?
Yes. The CHF120 is the enhanced version of the CH120 and is fully interchangeable, with the added benefit of the trip indicator flag.
What is the maximum wire size for this 20 amp breaker?
The terminal is rated for a single #14-8 AWG wire or two #14-10 AWG wires, supporting both copper and aluminum connections.
