CHN245GF - 45 Amp GFCI Circuit Breaker

CHN245GF - 45 Amp GFCI Circuit Breaker

If you need a breaker that does more than just sit there and trip when overloaded, the CHN245GF 45 Amp 2-pole is built for that job. It’s made for Eaton CH panels and adds ground fault protection where it actually matters—places where a standard breaker just isn’t enough. This one monitors the circuit continuously. If it picks up a ground fault, it cuts power right away. That’s what helps prevent shock risks and keeps equipment from getting damaged. It’s also a common trip breaker, so both poles shut off together. You don’t end up with half the circuit still live, which is exactly what you want in a fault situation. Install is straightforward. It’s a plug-on style, so it snaps into place without a fight, and the pigtail neutral is there for the GFCI connection. Nothing complicated, just wire it and move on.
