Product Description
The EATON ch-chq215 is a 2-pole, 15-amp plug-in circuit breaker rated for 120/240 volts, designed to protect branch circuit wiring against overloads and short-circuit fault currents. Classified as a Type CHQ replacement breaker, it has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories and found suitable for use in another manufacturer's load center panels, including QO-style panels. The breaker trips to the visible off position and includes a trip flag indicator, giving installers a clear visual confirmation of a fault condition. Licensed electricians install this device during new construction, panel upgrades, or breaker replacement service calls.
The ch-chq215 is intended for residential and light-commercial applications where a classified replacement breaker is needed. Its 2-pole configuration occupies 1.5 inches of panel space, making it a direct-fit option in compatible load centers. Contractors stocking this breaker can reduce inventory complexity by carrying a single manufacturer's classified replacement product rather than sourcing multiple brands. It is available in both 1-pole and 2-pole configurations across the CHQ product line.
