CHB130 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

CHB130 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

The CHB130 is a 30 Amp single-pole breaker used in Eaton CH Loadcenters. It’s typically used as a replacement breaker in existing CH panel setups where matching the original breaker type, rating, and fit is important.

In everyday applications, this breaker is commonly found on heavier lighting loads, receptacle circuits, and other standard 120V branch circuits that require a 30 amp rating. Since it’s part of the CH plug-in family, it installs directly into compatible loadcenters without modification, which makes it a straightforward option for your maintenance or replacement work.

This model includes 5 mA ground fault protection, used in applications where that level of protection is required. It operates using a thermal magnetic trip, which handles both your overload and short-circuit conditions during normal circuit operation. The CHB130 is rated for 120/240V systems with a 10kA interrupting rating, and is used in residential and light commercial electrical systems built around Eaton CH equipment. Most of the time, it’s selected simply because it matches what’s already in the panel and keeps the installation consistent.

These breakers are commonly used in maintenance situations where the goal is straightforward replacement—pull the old breaker, install the same style, and keep the system unchanged.
