Eaton Corporation CHT2020 Tandem Circuit Breaker 20 Amp

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION CHT2020 is a CH-series twin single-pole tandem circuit breaker rated at 20 amps per pole. Designed as a space-saving two-in-one breaker, it fits a single breaker slot while providing two independent 20-amp circuits. Each pole occupies 3/8 inches of panel space, with both poles together fitting within a 3/4-inch slot. CTL-rated construction ensures it meets panel capacity-limiting requirements. Licensed electricians install this breaker during panel upgrades, circuit additions, or direct replacement of failed tandem breakers in qualifying CH load centers.

This breaker is intended for use in CH load centers manufactured prior to 1968 that have 8 circuits or fewer. It is a direct replacement for existing CH-series tandem breakers in those specific panels. The CTL rating limits its use to panels that are designed to accept tandem breakers, preventing overcrowding of circuits beyond the panel's rated capacity. This makes it a code-compliant solution for adding circuits without replacing the load center.

Compatibility

Designed for use in CH load centers manufactured prior to 1968 with 8 circuits or fewer, as specified by the manufacturer. This is a CTL-rated tandem breaker and is only compatible with panels approved to accept tandem configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the load center at the utility disconnect before beginning any panel work. Verify the existing CH load center was manufactured prior to 1968 and contains 8 circuits or fewer before installing this tandem breaker. Do not install in load centers not rated or approved for CTL tandem breakers.
