Eaton GHB1020 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can an Eaton GHB breaker be used on a 480Y/277V panel?
The GHB is rated 277 VAC, which is the line-to-neutral voltage of a 480Y/277 system. So single-pole GHB breakers work on 277 volt circuits, typically lighting branch circuits off a 480Y/277 panelboard. It carries a 14 kAIC interrupting rating at 277 VAC. Do not treat it as a full 480 VAC device: the AC rating on record is 277 VAC, so two- and three-pole line-to-line applications at 480 volts are outside what the breaker is rated for. It is also rated 125 VDC and runs at 50/60 Hz.
2) What amperage ratings and pole counts does the Eaton GHB Series C come in?
Three pole configurations, each with its own amp range. Single-pole: 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 amps. Two-pole: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 100 amps. Three-pole: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 amps. Note the ranges are not identical, 35 and 50 amps are offered in two- and three-pole but not single-pole, and 90 amps is single- and three-pole only. Part numbers follow the pattern: GHB, then the pole count digit, then the amperage, so a three-pole 60 amp is GHB3060.
3) Can the trip setting on an Eaton GHB breaker be adjusted in the field?
No. The GHB uses fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip, so both the overload and the instantaneous trip points are set at the factory and there is no dial or adjustment. If you need a different trip point you order a different amperage rating rather than adjusting the breaker. That is why the amp rating has to be right at the order stage: sizing is decided by the part number you pick, not by setting the breaker after it is installed.
4) I need to replace a failed breaker in a 277 volt lighting panel. What do I order to match?
Read three things off the face of the old breaker: the catalog number, the pole count and the amp rating. On a GHB the catalog number encodes the last two, GHB plus the pole digit plus the amperage. GHB1020 is single-pole 20 amp, GHB2030 is two-pole 30 amp, GHB3100 is three-pole 100 amp. Match the number exactly and the replacement drops into the same G frame position with the same 277 VAC, 14 kAIC and fixed thermal magnetic trip characteristics. Do not substitute a higher amp rating to stop nuisance tripping, the conductor size sets the maximum breaker size.
5) Is the GHB a bolt-on panel breaker or does it need an enclosure?
The GHB is supplied as a complete breaker in a G-frame molded case, meaning the breaker itself is the finished assembly rather than a trip unit or a replacement element that goes into a separate frame. It goes into a panelboard, switchboard, control panel or enclosure that accepts the G frame; the mounting hardware and enclosure are separate items, not part of the breaker.
6) Does the Eaton GHB breaker work on DC circuits?
Yes, the GHB carries a 125 VDC rating alongside its 277 VAC rating, so it can protect DC circuits such as control power, battery and UPS distribution up to 125 volts DC. The 14 kAIC interrupting rating that is published applies at 277 VAC. On DC, pole count matters for how the breaker is applied, and the same GHB catalog numbers cover single-, two- and three-pole builds.
7) Is the Eaton GHB breaker approved for federal and government facility work?
Two things a specifier looks for are on record here: the GHB is UL Listed, and it complies with Federal Specifications Classification W-C375B. That combination is what typically gets a molded case breaker accepted on government, institutional and military-adjacent projects where the submittal has to reference a federal specification rather than just a manufacturer datasheet.
8) Is Eaton GHB the same as Cutler-Hammer GHB?
Same breaker. GHB is the Cutler-Hammer catalog designation that carried over to Eaton after Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer line, and the Series C designation identifies the current generation of the design. A panel schedule or existing breaker marked Cutler-Hammer GHB1020 is matched by ordering GHB1020 from Eaton: the catalog number, pole count and amp rating are what identify the part.
9) How deep is the Eaton GHB breaker in the panel?
The published length/depth on the GHB is 2.63 inches. That is the figure to check against the gutter space and cover clearance in the enclosure or panel you are fitting it into, particularly on retrofits into an existing can where the wiring space behind the deadfront is already tight.
10) Can I use the GHB on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems?
Yes. The GHB is rated 50/60 Hz, so the same catalog number applies whether the facility runs on 60 Hz North American power or 50 Hz supply. That matters for OEM control panels and equipment built here and shipped abroad, since it avoids a separate breaker part number for the export build.
