CHB360 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

CHB360 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton CHB360 is a 60 Amp, three-pole circuit breaker used in Eaton CH Loadcenters, and it’s typically installed when you need a direct replacement that matches an existing breaker already in the panel.

In day-to-day use, this breaker is usually found in residential and light commercial systems handling medium three-pole 240V loads. Most of the time, it’s not about changing anything—it’s about replacing like-for-like so the system keeps operating the way it was originally set up.

Installation is simple in compatible Eaton CH Loadcenters. The plug-in design lets the breaker seat directly into the panel without modification, which keeps the work straightforward when servicing an existing system. Inside, the CHB360 uses a thermal magnetic trip system, which responds to both overload and short-circuit conditions. It’s rated at 10 kAIC, which matches typical fault levels found in standard CH residential and light commercial installations.

At its core, the CHB360 is a direct replacement breaker for Eaton CH Loadcenters. It’s meant to keep existing systems consistent and properly matched, without changing the panel layout or introducing compatibility issues.
