Schneider Electric CHOM250GFI 50A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the Schneider Electric CHOM250GFI 50A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker, Part Number CHOM250GFI. This 50-amp, two-pole breaker is engineered to guard high-current 240-volt circuits, delivering dependable protection for wiring and connected equipment in both home and commercial settings.

Why this matters: in any installation with heavy loads—think air conditioning, heat pumps, water heaters, or other 240V appliances—a reliable overcurrent protector is essential. The CHOM250GFI is built to trip quickly when current spikes, helping prevent overheating of conductors and potential fire hazards, while keeping power off to the affected circuit until the issue is resolved.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 50 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Model/Part: CHOM250GFI
• Brand: Schneider Electric

Built for 240V, two-pole protection — this breaker disconnects both live conductors simultaneously, ensuring a safe and complete de-energization of each affected circuit. That dual-breaker action is ideal for heavy-draw equipment where single-pole devices leave the other leg energized, a situation that can pose safety risks during service or maintenance.

Ideal use cases — perfect for systems that require robust 50A protection on 240V circuits, including residential HVAC equipment, electric water heaters, large dedicated outlets, and other high-amperage appliances in light commercial settings. Using Schneider Electric's CHOM250GFI in compatible panels provides consistent protection and predictable trip behavior, which simplifies diagnostics and maintenance over the life of your electrical system.

Why choose Schneider Electric CHOM250GFI — a trusted name in electrical protection, designed to integrate with Schneider Electric panels and components. This model delivers dependable performance, clear trip indicators, and long service life under typical operating conditions, making it a reliable component in your electrical distribution strategy.

Installation and care tips: Install within a panel that accepts CH-series breakers and is rated for 240V circuits. Ensure power is shut off before service, torque to manufacturer specifications, and periodically inspect for signs of wear or nuisance tripping. If you’re upgrading an older panel or expanding a 240V circuit, the CHOM250GFI provides a straightforward, compatible replacement that preserves system safety and reliability.
