CH230SW - 30 Amp Switching Neutral Circuit Breaker

CH230SW - 30 Amp Switching Neutral Circuit Breaker

The CH230SW is one of those breakers you go looking for when a standard one won’t cut it. If your setup calls for a switching neutral, this is exactly what you need. Unlike a typical breaker that only interrupts the hot leg, this one disconnects both the hot and the neutral at the same time. That’s important in certain circuits where full isolation is required—usually for safety, and often because code says so. It’s also built with a common trip, so both poles shut off together if there’s a fault. No guessing, no partial shutdowns—just a clean, complete disconnect. Installation is simple. It’s a plug-on CH breaker, so it snaps right into compatible panels without any extra work. With a 30 amp rating and 10k AIC at 120/240VAC, it covers the needs of most residential and light commercial jobs. Nothing fancy here—just the right breaker for the job when you need a switching neutral.
