Eaton CHN220GFCS - 20A, GFCI Ground-Fault Circuit Breaker

Meet the Eaton CHN220GFCS — a 20A GFCI ground-fault circuit breaker designed for serious industrial and commercial environments. This unit combines dependable overcurrent protection with ground-fault sensing in a single device, making it a trusted choice for safety-conscious panel builds and OEM equipment.

• 20A current rating tailored for distribution panels, switchboards, control panels, and OEM assemblies where precise protection is critical.
• GFCI ground-fault protection detects insulation leakage and abnormal current paths to reduce the risk of electrical shock and equipment damage in damp or conductive environments.
• Versatile installation compatible with panelboards, switchboards, control panels, and OEM equipment, simplifying design and inventory for industrial projects.
• Industrial-grade reliability built to meet the demanding needs of commercial facilities and manufacturing settings where continuous operation matters.

Ideal applications

• New installations in distribution panels and motor control centers where safety and reliability are paramount.
• Repairs or retrofits of existing panel systems in industrial or commercial facilities that require integrated GFCI protection.
• OEM equipment enclosures and control panels where a compact, all-in-one protection solution simplifies wiring and maintenance.

Why this matters

Ground-fault protection is not just about compliance—it directly supports safer workplaces by quickly interrupting fault currents before they pose a shock risk or cause equipment damage. The CHN220GFCS is designed to function reliably in environments where moisture, conductive dust, or incidental contact could lead to leakage paths, helping protect personnel and critical machinery.
