Eaton CHB215 - 15 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Eaton CHB215 is a 15A, 240V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built for durable performance, it ensures safe, reliable operation across residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.

Its secure bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection, reducing the risk of loose contacts in demanding electrical panels. The thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection: the thermal element handles overload conditions with a measured response, while the magnetic element rapidly trips on short circuits, helping protect downstream wiring and connected equipment.

Designed for compatibility, this CHB215 works with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards, making installation straightforward and ensuring coordinated protection across the entire electrical distribution system.
