CHFCAF115 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

CHFCAF115 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton CHFCAF115 is a 15 Amp single-pole Combination AFCI circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Eaton Type CH loadcenters. It's commonly used on residential branch circuits where arc fault protection is required and is often installed when replacing an existing CH-series AFCI breaker or maintaining an Eaton CH panel.

Unlike a standard circuit breaker, the CHFCAF115 is designed to detect certain types of arc faults that can occur from damaged wiring, loose electrical connections, or deteriorated conductors. When an arc fault is detected, the breaker interrupts power to the circuit. It also provides traditional thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits.

This breaker features a plug-on design with a pigtail connection and is rated for 15 amps with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It's commonly used on bedroom circuits, living areas, hallways, home offices, receptacle circuits, and lighting circuits where AFCI protection may be required by code.

Whether you're replacing a failed breaker, matching an existing panel configuration, or performing routine electrical maintenance, the CHFCAF115 provides the proper fit for approved Eaton CH loadcenters and is built to last.
