CH240 - 40Amp Circuit Breaker

CH240 - 40Amp Circuit Breaker

The CH240 is a 40 Amp, 2-pole circuit breaker designed for you to use in compatible Type CH load centers and panelboards. It provides protection against overloads and short circuits on 120/240VAC electrical systems and is commonly used on circuits serving larger equipment and appliances.

This breaker features a plug-on mounting design, making installation and replacement straightforward in compatible panels. The 40-amp rating makes it a suitable choice for a variety of 240-volt applications, including HVAC equipment, electric water heaters, pumps, compressors, and other dedicated branch circuits.

With an interrupting capacity of 10kA at 120/240VAC, the CH240 is built to handle fault conditions while helping protect your conductors and connected equipment. Whether you're replacing an existing breaker, performing panel maintenance, or completing an electrical upgrade, this breaker offers the performance expected from a Type CH device.

For contractors and maintenance professionals, having the correct replacement breaker can save time on the job.
