CH3020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker Description
CH3020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker
The CH3020 is a 20 Amp, 3-pole CH bolt-on circuit breaker used in compatible CH panelboards and electrical distribution equipment. It’s typically used in three-phase systems where a smaller branch circuit needs dedicated protection.
In most cases, this breaker shows up on things like HVAC control circuits, small motors, pumps, compressors, and other light three-phase loads. When you're replacing one, it usually comes down to matching a few basics—CH type, 3 poles, 20 amps, and bolt-on style—so it fits the existing panel the same way the original did.
The CH3020 is rated for 240VAC and 480VAC systems, with a 14kA interrupting rating at 480VAC and 65kA at 240VAC. It uses a thermal magnetic trip mechanism with a non-interchangeable trip unit and is designed for 50/60Hz operation in 40°C environments. It is also HACR rated, so it can be used in HVAC-related applications where that listing is required.
The bolt-on connection provides a solid mechanical and electrical connection inside compatible equipment. Once installed in the correct CH panelboard or switchgear, it becomes part of the standard protection for low-amp three-phase circuits.
