CHB260GF - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

CHB260GF - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton CHB260GF is a 60 Amp, two-pole ground fault circuit breaker made for Eaton CH Loadcenters, and it’s the kind of breaker you use when you need a direct replacement that fits cleanly into an existing bolt-on panel setup. It’s built for 120/240VAC circuits where both legs need to trip together, and it also includes ground fault protection for circuits that require that extra level of safety built in.

In real-world use, this breaker is usually found in residential and light commercial CH panels where the original installation already uses bolt-on style breakers. Most of the time, it’s chosen for replacement work—where the goal is simple: match what’s already there so the panel stays consistent and nothing about the layout has to change. Inside, the CHB260GF uses a thermal magnetic trip system, which responds to both overloads and short circuits as they happen. It also has ground fault protection, which helps you detect leakage current and shut the circuit down when needed. It’s rated at 10 kAIC at 120/240VAC, which lines up with typical fault levels in CH loadcenter applications.

With a two-pole 60 amp design, it’s commonly used for 240V circuits where both conductors need to disconnect at the same time. The #8–2 AWG wire range matches standard heavier branch circuit wiring used in this type of setup.

At the end of the day, the CHB260GF is a straight replacement bolt-on breaker for Eaton CH Loadcenters.
