CHB215 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

CHB215 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The CHB215 is a 15 Amp two-pole breaker used in Eaton CH Loadcenters. It’s typically used when you're replacing an existing CH breaker that needs the same form, fit, and electrical rating to keep the panel consistent.

In actual installations, this breaker is often used on smaller 120/240V circuits where both legs need to be switched together. It shows up in dedicated branch circuits and control-type applications where a two-pole breaker is required, even at a lower amperage.

Because it’s part of the CH plug-in family, it installs directly into compatible Eaton loadcenters without any modification. That helps keep replacement work straightforward in panels that are already in service.

This model also includes a 120–240V shunt trip feature, which allows the breaker to be tripped remotely when used in systems that require that function. It does require extra pole space in the panel, which is worth confirming before installation. Inside, it uses a thermal magnetic trip, handling both overload and short-circuit conditions during normal operation. It’s designed for use in CH systems where maintaining the original breaker style and layout is important.

The CHB215 is rated for 120/240V systems with a 10kA interrupting rating. It’s most often found in residential and light commercial CH panels where matching the existing breaker setup is the main requirement.

In most cases, it’s a straightforward replacement part—remove the old breaker, match the rating, and install the same style to keep the system unchanged.
