Eaton ch-cl250 Double Pole Circuit Breaker 50A 120/240V

Product Description

The EATON ch-cl250 is a Type CL classified double pole circuit breaker rated at 50 amps and 120/240 volts with a 10,000-amp interrupting capacity (10kAIC). It is designed as a classified replacement breaker, meaning it is listed for use in loadcenters made by manufacturers other than EATON where space and ampacity requirements match. Electricians use this breaker when a direct OEM replacement is unavailable or when servicing panels that accept classified breakers per NEC guidelines. The 1-inch width fits standard tandem-capable and classified-rated loadcenter slots.

This breaker is suited for residential and light commercial electrical panels requiring a 50-amp double pole overcurrent protection device. Typical applications include branch circuit protection for electric ranges, dryers, water heaters, HVAC equipment, and subpanels. The Type CL classification means it is independently listed and tested for installation in compatible non-EATON panel enclosures that accept classified breakers, expanding its use across a wide range of existing installations without requiring a full panel replacement.

Key Features

• 50-amp double pole configuration provides 240-volt branch circuit protection in a single 1-inch space
• 10kAIC interrupting rating meets common residential and light commercial fault current requirements
• Type CL classification allows installation in compatible non-EATON loadcenters listed to accept classified breakers
• 120/240-volt rated for standard North American split-phase panel systems
• 1-inch footprint fits classified-slot positions in compatible enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as a Type CL classified replacement circuit breaker for use in residential and light commercial loadcenters listed to accept classified breakers. Consult the panel manufacturer's labeling and NEC Article 240 requirements to confirm compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the panel at the utility disconnect and verify absence of voltage with a meter before handling any breaker or bus connection. Confirm that the target loadcenter is labeled to accept Type CL classified breakers before installing this device. Do not install in a panel that is not rated or labeled for classified breaker use.
