B-LINE CHP280 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the CHP280 breaker UL listed for use as a branch circuit breaker?
The CHP280 is UL 489 listed, which is the standard for molded case circuit breakers used as branch circuit and feeder overcurrent protection. That listing is what an inspector or a facility spec will look for when the breaker is protecting a branch circuit rather than serving only as a supplementary protector.
2) Will the CHP280 fit in an Eaton CH loadcenter?
Yes, the CHP280 is an Eaton CH type breaker, so it is built for CH loadcenters and CH panel interiors. CH and BR are not interchangeable bus designs, so if the panel you are working in is a BR type interior, this is not the breaker for it. Confirm the panel label reads CH before ordering.
3) What does thermal magnetic mean on the Eaton CH CHP280 breaker, and how does it protect a circuit?
Thermal magnetic means two trip mechanisms in one breaker. The thermal element (a bimetal) responds to sustained overload, tripping slower as the overload gets smaller, which protects conductors from heating. The magnetic element responds instantly to a short circuit or ground fault level current. For a contractor or MRO buyer, that is the ordinary behavior expected of a panel breaker, no electronic trip unit and no settings to program.
4) Do I need to order a separate mounting kit or hardware with this Eaton CH breaker?
No separate mounting hardware is involved. A plug-on CH type breaker clips onto the panel bus stab and is retained by the interior, so the only parts you handle on the job are the breaker itself and the branch conductor under its lug. Nothing additional ships with it or is required to seat it.
