CH240SW - 40 Amp Switching Neutral Circuit Breaker Description
CH240SW - 40 Amp Switching Neutral Circuit Breaker
f you’re dealing with a setup where both the hot and neutral need to be disconnected together, the CH240SW is built for exactly that job. This isn’t your standard breaker—it’s a switching neutral model, which means it cuts both lines at the same time. In the right applications, that’s not just helpful—it’s required. At 40 amps, this breaker fits comfortably into a range of residential and light commercial uses. The common trip design ensures both poles react together during a fault, so you’re not left with half the circuit still energized. It’s the kind of detail that matters when you’re thinking about safety and code compliance. Installation is straightforward. The plug-on style makes it easy to seat into compatible CH panels without fighting the hardware. Once it’s in place, it does its job quietly—no fuss, no constant attention needed. With a 10k A.I.C. rating, it’s ready to handle fault conditions you’d expect in typical 120/240V systems. And because it uses the CH frame, it keeps things compact inside the panel.
