CH230GFT - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

CH230GFT - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

When a circuit requires both dependable overcurrent protection and ground fault protection, the CH230GFT 30 Amp 2-Pole Type CHGF Circuit Breaker is designed to handle the job. This plug-on style Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker combines circuit protection with enhanced safety features, helping protect people and equipment from potentially hazardous ground fault conditions.

Rated at 30 Amps and 120/240VAC, the CH230GFT is commonly used in applications where electrical codes or system requirements call for GFCI protection. Its 2-pole design makes it suitable for circuits operating across both phases, while the 10kA interrupting capacity provides protection against fault currents that can damage electrical equipment and disrupt operations.

Whether you're replacing an existing breaker during routine maintenance or completing an electrical upgrade, choosing the correct breaker is critical for system performance and safety. The CH230GFT offers the familiar plug-on installation style used in compatible CH electrical panels, helping streamline installation and reduce downtime.
