Eaton Cutler-Hammer's CHB280 is a molded case circuit breaker suitable for single-phase systems. It is rated at 80 Amperes, making it well-suited for moderate power requirements. The breaker functions within a voltage range of 120 to 240 Volts AC, which is typical for residential and light commercial applications, and it operates efficiently over a frequency range of 50 to 60 Hertz.
Constructed with two poles, the CHB280 incorporates a thermal magnetic tripping mechanism. This feature provides both long-time and instantaneous trip functions, ensuring effective protection against overloads and short-circuits. The circuit breaker offers an interrupt rating of 10 kiloamperes at 240 Volts AC, which establishes its capability to withstand fault conditions. Conductor connections can be made using wire sizes from 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG, providing flexibility in electrical installations.
The breaker utilizes a bolt-on mounting method, facilitating secure installation within panels. This specific model is tailored for integration with CH Series loadcenters, making it a reliable choice for managing electrical distribution in various settings.
