B-LINE CH235GFT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a CH235GFT ground fault breaker fit a Type BR or Homeline panel?
No. The CH235GFT is a Type CH breaker, so it only mounts in panels and loadcenters that accept the CH plug-on style. Type BR and Homeline interiors use a different bus and mounting, and a CH breaker will not seat correctly in them. Check the breaker-type label inside your panel door before ordering.
2) Is the CH235GFT a 35 amp two-pole GFCI breaker, and what voltage can it be used on?
Yes, it's a two-pole device rated 35A at 120/240V, so it lands on both legs of a single-phase 240V circuit and gives ground fault protection on a 240V load like a spa heater or well pump circuit. The 120/240V rating also means it supports a circuit with a neutral for 120V loads.
3) What wire size can I land in the CH235GFT breaker terminals?
The terminals accept #14 through #4 AWG. For a 35A circuit that comfortably covers the copper sizes you'd normally pull, and the #4 top end leaves room for aluminum conductors or a long-run upsize.
4) Do I need to run a neutral to a two-pole GFCI breaker like this one?
Yes. A two-pole ground fault breaker of this type has a white coiled pigtail that lands on the panel neutral bar, and that connection is required for the sensing electronics to work even on a straight 240V load with no neutral. The circuit's own neutral, if the load has one, goes to the breaker's neutral terminal, not to the panel bar.
5) What does the Self Test feature on the CH235GFT actually do?
Self test means the breaker automatically and periodically checks its own ground fault sensing circuitry rather than relying only on someone pressing the test button. If the internal check fails, the device signals the end of its protective life so it gets replaced instead of sitting dead in the panel. It does not remove the need for the manual push-to-test check during inspections.
6) Can I use this breaker on a federal or government spec job?
It meets Federal Spec Classification W-C375, which is what's commonly called out on government and institutional electrical submittals for molded case breakers. That plus the 35A, two-pole, 120/240V, 10 kAIC ratings is usually what a spec reviewer is looking for on the cut sheet.
7) Is this the right breaker for a 35 amp 240V circuit, or should I look at a 30 or 40 amp?
Size the breaker to the conductor and the load nameplate, not to what's on the shelf. The CH235GFT is fixed at 35A, which suits circuits engineered for 35A protection, such as some equipment with a maximum overcurrent device marked 35A. If your nameplate calls for 30A or 40A max, this breaker is the wrong rating and you need the CH two-pole at that amperage instead.
