Eaton CH215GFT - 15 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Plug-In Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Eaton CH215GFT is a 15A, 240V, 2-pole plug-in molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Its fast plug-in connection enables quick installation and easy replacement, minimizing downtime during service calls or upgrades.

Built around a thermal-magnetic trip unit, the CH215GFT provides stable, repeatable protection. The thermal element protects against nuisance overloads, while the magnetic element reacts rapidly to short circuits, helping safeguard wiring and connected devices in real-world conditions. This dual-action protection is particularly valuable in environments with variable loads and occasional surge events.

Why this Eaton CH215GFT stands out

• Fast, plug-in mounting: streamline installation and replacement in compatible panelboards and load centers, reducing labor time on both new builds and retrofit projects.
• 2-pole design at 240V: ensures simultaneous disconnection of both lines, enhancing safety and simplifying fault isolation.
• 15A protection for branch circuits: ideal for circuits feeding lighting, receptacles, and small equipment in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.
• OEM-compatible: designed to be compatible with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, helping you maintain system integrity and reliability without mismatches.
• Thermal-magnetic reliability: delivers consistent performance across a range of operating temperatures and conditions, reducing unexpected trips and providing predictable protection.
