The Cutler‑Hammer CHF230 Double‑Pole Circuit Breaker is a premium 2‑pole (D‑P) breaker designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial electrical systems. Manufactured by Eaton under the Cutler‑Hammer brand, the CHF series is recognized for its durable construction, dependable performance, and enhanced safety features.

Rated at 30 amps and suitable for 120/240‑volt applications, the CHF230 is ideal for protecting medium‑load 240‑volt branch circuits. As a double‑pole breaker, it connects to both hot bus bars in the panel and ensures simultaneous tripping of both poles, delivering proper protection for 240‑volt loads while supporting safe and code‑compliant electrical installations.

The breaker incorporates a proven thermal‑magnetic trip mechanism, providing accurate protection against sustained overloads and instantaneous short circuits. The CHF series also features enhanced trip indication, allowing users to easily identify tripped breakers. Designed for plug‑on installation in compatible Eaton / Cutler‑Hammer load centers, the CHF230 installs quickly and securely while providing long‑term reliability.
