Eaton CHN220GF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Eaton CHN GFCI breaker fit my Eaton BR panel?
No. The CHN-series GFCI breakers are CH-type plug-in breakers and belong in Eaton CH loadcenters and panelboards. Eaton's BR type is a different footprint and the two are not interchangeable, so a CH breaker will not seat correctly in a BR panel. Check the panel label or the breaker you are pulling out: CH panels take CH, BR panels take BR.
2) What amp ratings does the Eaton CHN two-pole GFCI breaker come in?
Nine ratings, all two-pole: 15A (CHN215GF), 20A (CHN220GF), 25A (CHN225GF), 30A (CHN230GF), 35A (CHN235GF), 40A (CHN240GF), 45A (CHN245GF), 50A (CHN250GF) and 60A (CHN260GF). Pick the rating that matches the wire size and the load you are protecting, not the largest one that fits.
3) Is this a people-protection GFCI or an equipment ground fault breaker?
It trips at 5 mA, which is Class A personnel protection, the same sensitivity as a GFCI receptacle. Equipment ground fault protection devices trip around 30 mA and do not satisfy code where personnel GFCI is required. So a CHN GFCI breaker is the right choice for spa, pool equipment, outdoor and similar circuits calling for GFCI protection of people.
4) Does a two-pole CHN GFCI breaker need a neutral run back to the panel?
The GFCI sensing circuit needs the load neutral brought to the breaker's neutral terminal, plus the pigtail landed on the panel neutral bar. That is how it compares current on both legs and neutral. For a straight 240V load with no neutral, such as many spa heaters or well pumps, you still land the pigtail on the neutral bar and leave the load neutral terminal empty. If you are feeding a 120/240V load, the neutral goes to the breaker, not the bar.
5) If one leg faults, do both poles open on this Eaton GFCI breaker?
Yes, the trip type is common, so an overload, short or ground fault on either pole opens both poles together. That matters on a 240V load like a water heater or spa, where leaving one leg energized would be a shock hazard during service.
6) How do I tell whether a CHN GFCI breaker tripped on a ground fault or an overload?
There's a GFI indicator on the breaker. When the trip was caused by a ground fault, the indicator shows it, so a maintenance tech can tell a wiring or equipment ground fault apart from a plain overload before resetting. That saves a lot of guessing on repeat trips at a spa panel or an outdoor circuit.
7) Are these Eaton CHN GFCI breakers UL listed for use as branch circuit protection?
They are UL 489 listed, which is the standard for molded case circuit breakers used as branch circuit and feeder overcurrent protection. That is the listing an inspector looks for on a breaker installed in a loadcenter, as opposed to UL 1077 supplementary protectors, which cannot be used for branch circuit protection.
8) Can I use one two-pole CHN GFCI breaker instead of two single-pole GFCIs for a spa circuit?
For a single 240V or 120/240V spa or equipment circuit, the two-pole CHN GFCI is the correct device: one breaker, both legs protected, common trip, 5 mA sensitivity. Two single-pole GFCI breakers are for two separate 120V circuits, not for one multiwire or 240V load. Match the amperage to the equipment nameplate; ratings run 15A through 60A.
9) How many spaces does a two-pole CHN GFCI breaker take in a CH panel?
Two full-size spaces, since it is a two-pole plug-in breaker that straddles both bus legs. Count that against your remaining panel capacity before you order, because CH GFCI breakers are wider bodied than a standard single-pole and will not fit where only one space is open.
