The Cutler‑Hammer CL250 is a dependable Type CL thermal‑magnetic double‑pole circuit breaker designed for UL‑classified replacement use in residential electrical systems. Manufactured by Eaton under the trusted Cutler‑Hammer brand, this breaker provides reliable overcurrent protection when servicing or upgrading approved load centers that permit Type CL breakers.

Built with a double‑pole configuration, the CL250 is intended for 120/240‑volt branch circuits that require both ungrounded conductors to open simultaneously. Its integrated common trip mechanism ensures that when an overload or fault condition occurs on either pole, both poles trip together. This coordinated operation enhances safety and helps protect wiring, connected equipment, and the overall electrical system.

With a 50‑amp rating, the CL250 is well‑suited for higher‑demand residential applications. The thermal‑magnetic trip unit combines two protective functions: a thermal element that responds to sustained overloads and a magnetic element that reacts instantly to short‑circuit conditions. This combination delivers dependable protection while helping to minimize nuisance tripping.

The plug‑on mounting design allows for quick, secure installation into compatible panels, making breaker replacement efficient and straightforward. Its compact form factor conserves space within the load center while delivering performance and reliability backed by Eaton’s manufacturing standards.
