Eaton CHH3200 - 200 A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton CHH3200 is a 200 A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to safeguard branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built for reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection, it combines compact sizing with precise, repeatable performance—a smart choice for upgrading or expanding power distribution in modern systems.

Why this breaker stands out

• Compact molded case design preserves valuable panel space, making it easier to fit larger service sets or additional circuits without crowding your panel.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection. The thermal element handles overload conditions with predictable response, while the magnetic element snaps to attention during short circuits for rapid disconnection, reducing damage to equipment and wiring.
• 200 A, 3-pole configuration supports three-phase systems and provides robust protection for high-demand circuits, motors, and feeders without compromising reliability.
• OEM panel compatibility designed for seamless integration with matching Eaton OEM load centers and panelboards, simplifying replacement or expansion projects and maintaining system integrity.
• Versatile applications suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments where dependable, code-compliant protection is essential.

Practical benefits and use cases

Whether you’re upgrading an aging distribution panel or expanding capacity for a new three-phase load, the CHH3200 delivers predictable protection and easy maintenance. It’s ideal for:

• Upgrading service panels in commercial spaces with higher load requirements
• feeders to equipment rooms housing motors and processing gear in light industrial settings
• Retrofits where matching Eaton CH-family components ensures compatibility and consistent trip characteristics

How it protects your system

The CHH3200’s thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides two layers of safety. The thermal element responds to gradual overcurrent, preventing nuisance trips while protecting insulation and conductors from overheating. When a short circuit occurs, the magnetic element activates swiftly, interrupting current to prevent damage, arc flash risk, and fire hazards. This combination yields dependable protection with predictable behavior across diverse loads.
