Eaton CH225 - 25 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Plug-In Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton CH225 — a dependable 25A, 240V, 2-pole plug-in molded-case circuit breaker designed to safeguard your panelboards and load centers. With a fast plug-in connection, it makes installation and replacements quick and hassle-free, so you spend less time wiring and more time keeping circuits protected.

Built for precise, repeatable protection, the CH225 uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit that responds to both overloads and short circuits. The result is stable disconnection behavior that reduces nuisance trips and protects wiring and connected equipment across the board. Its 2-pole design ensures both hot conductors in 240V circuits are simultaneously interrupted, maintaining safety and fault isolation in one compact device.

Key differentiators and practical benefits

• Plug-in mounting for rapid service: Quickly slide the CH225 into compatible Eaton panelboards and load centers, streamlining commissioning, maintenance, and replacements.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: The trip unit combines thermal overload sensing with magnetic short-circuit protection for reliable, repeatable performance under real-world loads.
• 2-pole, 240V operation: Ideal for shared hot-hot circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications, including 240V appliances and equipment.
• 25A rating: Targets common branch circuits that require solid protection without over-tripping, helping to optimize wire sizing and breaker coordination in the electrical system.
• OEM compatibility: Designed to pair with matching Eaton panelboards and load centers, ensuring consistent performance and straightforward integration with existing electrical infrastructure.
• Rugged molded-case construction: Built to withstand the demands of daily electrical service in a variety of environments, from home panels to light commercial setups.
