The Eaton CH240GFT is a CH-series plug-in breaker designed to install in Eaton CH (Type-CH) loadcentres and panelboards. Its push-in design is specific to the CH bus system and is not interchangeable with Eaton BR-series or other manufacturers' panels. At 40A / 240V / 2-pole with a 10kA interrupt rating, it suits both residential and light commercial CH panels within that fault-current capacity.

The CH240GFT is designed for Eaton CH (Type-CH) loadcentres and panelboards that accept plug-in breakers. It is not compatible with Eaton BR-series panels or panels from other manufacturers. If you're unsure of your panel type, share your panel model number with us and we'll confirm compatibility.
A 5mA trip threshold means the breaker will detect and interrupt a ground fault as small as 5 milliamps — the Class A GFCI standard required by the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) for personnel protection. On a 240V 2-pole circuit (common for hot tubs, EV chargers, or pool equipment), a whole-panel GFCI breaker like the CH240GFT protects the entire circuit without needing GFCI receptacles at each outlet.
