Eaton CH220HID – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Eaton CH220HID breaker fit in my existing panel, or does it only work in Type CH loadcenters?
The CH220HID is a Type CH breaker and mounts in Eaton Type CH loadcenters only. It will not seat correctly in a BR panel or another manufacturer's bus, even though the footprint looks similar. Check the label inside your panel door for "Type CH" before ordering.
2) What wire size can I land on an Eaton CH two-pole breaker?
The lugs accept #14 through #8 AWG, copper or aluminum. That covers 15A through 40A branch wiring in either conductor material, so no separate Cu-only restriction to work around.
3) Can I use this Eaton CH breaker on an air conditioner or heat pump circuit?
Yes, the CH two-pole breaker is HACR rated, so it's suitable for heating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment circuits. Size it to the equipment nameplate maximum overcurrent protection.
4) Is 10 kAIC enough for my service, or do I need a higher interrupting rating?
The CH two-pole carries a 10 kAIC interrupting rating, which covers typical residential and light commercial services. If your available fault current at the panel exceeds 10 kA, as it can on larger commercial transformers or short service runs, you need a higher-AIC breaker instead.
5) How much panel space does a two-pole Eaton CH breaker take up?
It's a two-pole breaker built on 3/4-inch spacing, so it occupies two adjacent 3/4-inch poles in a CH loadcenter. Overall the body measures 1.5 in wide, 3.25 in deep and 3.375 in high.
6) Do both poles of this Eaton CH breaker trip together?
They do. The CH220HID uses common breaker trip, so a fault on either pole opens both. That's what a 240V load such as a water heater, range or condensing unit requires; it isn't an independent-trip handle-tied pair.
7) Is this Eaton CH breaker good for a 240V circuit as well as 120V?
It's rated 120/240V. As a two-pole device landing on both bus phases it feeds 240V loads, and it can also serve a multiwire branch circuit with two 120V legs sharing a neutral.
8) Is the Eaton CH two-pole breaker UL listed for use as branch circuit protection?
Yes, it's listed to UL 489, the standard for molded case circuit breakers, which is what an inspector looks for on branch circuit overcurrent protection in a loadcenter.
