Eaton CHB250EPD - 50 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton CHB250EPD — a 50 A, 240 V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker built to safeguard your panelboards and load centers. Designed for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection, this unit delivers precise, repeatable performance when it matters most.

Secure bolt-on mounting for a rigid, vibration-resistant connection

Engineered with a dedicated bolt-on mounting scheme, the CHB250EPD delivers a solid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays aligned through heavy loads and equipment startup transients. The result is fewer nuisance trips and long-term reliability in challenging environments, whether mounted in a residential panel or a commercial electrical room.

Thermal-magnetic trip unit for stable, predictable protection

The integrated thermal-magnetic trip system combines two protection mechanisms in one unit: the thermal element guards against slow-developing overloads, while the magnetic element responds rapidly to short circuits. This pairing provides stable, repeatable protection performance that electricians can trust across a variety of operating conditions.

Designed for seamless compatibility with Eaton panel systems

Optimized for use with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, the CHB250EPD slips into established Eaton configurations, simplifying replacements and upgrades. Its bolt-on design makes installation straightforward in existing installs, reducing downtime and compatibility concerns.

Ideal for a wide range of applications

Perfect for residential settings, commercial spaces, and light industrial environments that require robust 2-pole protection on 240 V circuits. Use cases include feeding 240 V equipment such as motors, pumps, HVAC components, and other high-demand loads where reliable interruption during faults protects wiring and downstream devices.
