Eaton ch-cl245 Classified Circuit Breaker 45A 2 Pole

Product Description

The EATON ch-cl245 is a Type CL Classified thermal magnetic circuit breaker rated at 45 amps and 120/240 volts AC. It is a 2-pole, single-phase breaker with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, designed to protect branch circuits in residential and light commercial electrical panels. The plug-on mount design allows for straightforward installation in compatible load centers. Common trip operation ensures both poles open simultaneously on a fault condition. Electricians install this breaker as an OEM-style replacement where a Type CL Classified breaker is required by panel specification.

This breaker is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a classified replacement breaker is needed. It accepts 14 to 4 AWG copper or aluminum wire, covering a wide range of branch circuit wiring scenarios. The 60 to 75 degrees C temperature rating makes it compatible with standard building wire insulation ratings. It is a single-phase, 2-pole unit appropriate for 240-volt loads such as electric dryers, HVAC equipment, and water heaters, or for 120-volt multi-wire branch circuits.
