Eaton CHMS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton CHMS marking strip fit an Eaton BR loadcenter, or is it CH only?
The CHMS strip is built for Eaton Type CH Style 3/4 inch loadcenters and breakers. It is not a BR accessory. If your panel is a BR-series load center, this strip is the wrong part; match the marking strip to the CH breaker line the panel uses.
2) How much room do I need inside the panel for the Eaton CHMS circuit marking strip?
Plan for a 7 inch by 4 inch footprint with a .01 inch profile, so it sits essentially flush and does not interfere with the deadfront or cover. Eaton's placement note is to install it next to the breakers, in the column beside the breaker handles.
3) What amperage and interrupt rating is the Eaton CHMS marking strip matched to?
It is catalogued against three-phase CH systems at 225 A with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, and aluminum bus. That matters when you are standardizing accessories across a building: if your CH panel is part of that 225 A three-phase aluminum-bus family, the CHMS is the strip specified for it.
4) Can I use this Eaton marking strip in an outdoor panel?
No. The CHMS is specified for NEMA 1 enclosure applications, which is indoor, dry-location use only. For an exterior or wet-location panel you need a rainproof enclosure rating (NEMA 3R), and the strip inside it should be the one Eaton lists for that panel.
5) Which Eaton part number do I order for a CH loadcenter circuit marking strip?
Order catalog number CHMS. It is a single-configuration item, so there are no finish or size choices to specify, just the one part.
6) Is the Eaton CHMS a paper label or a metal strip?
It is an aluminum strip, not a stick-on paper card. That is what lets it stay legible and intact inside a live panel over years of service calls, rather than curling or yellowing the way an adhesive label does.
7) Does the Eaton CHMS carry any UL listing for panel use?
UL 489 is the standard cited for the CHMS, consistent with the CH breaker line it supports. That is the branch-circuit breaker standard, so the strip is catalogued as part of that listed CH system rather than as a loose aftermarket accessory.
