CH270 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

CH270 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

The CH270 is a 70 Amp, 2-pole Type CH circuit breaker designed for use in compatible 120/240VAC electrical systems. Featuring a plug-on mounting design, it is commonly used where a 70-amp, two-pole breaker is specified for a dedicated branch circuit or larger electrical load.

In many installations, breakers of this size are used with HVAC equipment, electric water heaters, pumps, compressors, and other 240-volt applications. When you're replacing an existing breaker, matching the correct type, amperage rating, pole configuration, and panel compatibility is usually the first step. The CH270 is built for those situations, providing the form, fit, and function required for compatible Type CH panel applications.

The breaker carries a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC and installs in compatible load centers using a plug-on connection. Whether the job involves routine maintenance, a panel repair, or replacing a failed breaker, the CH270 offers the ratings needed for a wide range of residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.
