Eaton ch-chf245 45A Double Pole Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The EATON ch-chf245 is a Type CHF thermal magnetic circuit breaker rated at 45 amps and designed for two-pole, 120/240-volt applications. It provides overcurrent protection by combining thermal response for sustained overloads with magnetic response for instantaneous short-circuit faults. The trip flag indicator gives a visible status at a glance, and the common breaker trip design opens both poles simultaneously on a fault. Licensed electricians install this breaker in residential and light commercial load centers as part of a branch circuit or feeder installation.

This breaker is built for use in Type CH load centers. It is suited for residential panel upgrades, new construction wiring, and replacement service work where a double-pole 45-amp overcurrent device is required. The 10 kAIC interrupting rating covers fault current levels typical in residential and light commercial services, making it appropriate for standard utility feeds without requiring a higher-rated device.

Key Features

• 45-amp, two-pole configuration for 240-volt branch circuits
• Thermal magnetic trip mechanism responds to both overload and short-circuit conditions
• 10 kAIC interrupting rating suitable for residential and light commercial services
• Trip flag provides visible fault indication without opening the panel door
• Common trip design ensures simultaneous disconnection of both poles on a fault event
• Type CHF breaker format for direct installation in Type CH load centers

Compatibility

Designed for installation in Type CH load centers as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off and lock out the main breaker and verify the panel is de-energized before handling any breaker or bus bar connections. Confirm the load center bus rating and available fault current do not exceed the breaker interrupting capacity before installation. Do not modify the breaker body, bypass the trip mechanism, or install in a panel type other than those listed as compatible.
