Eaton CH150 - 50 A, 120 V, 1-Pole Plug-In Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Eaton CH150 – a robust 50A, 120V, 1-pole plug-in molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable branch circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built for quick installations and reliable performance, this unit is a smart choice for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical layouts. Available from AmpState, it’s ready to upgrade your panel protection with a purpose-built solution that fits the way you work.

• Fast plug-in connection for painless installation and fast replacement, reducing downtime during panel upgrades or service calls.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by combining thermal overload sensing with magnetic short-circuit response, so you get predictable protection under both steady-state and fault conditions.
• 1-pole, 50A, 120V rating provides solid protection for high-load branch circuits while aligning with common residential and light commercial panel architectures.
• OEM-compatible design is engineered to plug into matching Eaton load centers and panelboards, ensuring a precise fit, reliable electrical contact, and coordinated protection with other devices in your panel.
• Versatile protection suitable for a range of applications—from lighting and receptacle circuits to heating elements, HVAC controls, and other high-demand loads where clean, predictable trips matter.

Why this matters

Choosing the CH150 means relying on a time-tested solution that pairs simplicity with dependable safety. The plug-in format minimizes install time, while the thermal-magnetic mechanism provides rapid interruption during a fault, protecting wiring and connected equipment from damage. For electricians and maintenance teams, that translates to faster upgrades, fewer service interruptions, and a panel that behaves consistently across a variety of loads.

Ideal use scenarios

• Upgrading residential service panels to improve protection on high-draw circuits like large-appliance outlets or integrated heating elements.
• Replacing a failed 1-pole breaker in commercial or light industrial panels where a quick, reliable plug-in solution is needed.
• Installing in panelboards that require, or are documented for, Eaton CH-series plug-in breakers to maintain system coordination and warranty compliance.
• Routine panel maintenance where minimizing downtime and ensuring predictable trip behavior is essential for safety and uptime.

Installation and compatibility notes

• Requires a compatible Eaton panelboard or load center designed for plug-in molded case breakers in the CH series family.
• Before installation, verify that the panel is rated for 50A, 120V, and that a 1-pole configuration is appropriate for the circuit being protected.
• Turn off the main disconnect and follow standard electrical safety practices. Ensure proper seating of the breaker into the bus connection for a secure, reliable connection.
• Consider coordination with nearby protective devices to ensure the CH150 trips appropriately for the specific fault current level in your installation.
