This instruction manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of the Eaton CHQ240 40 Amp 2-Pole Circuit Breaker. Eaton's Type CHQ circuit breakers are designed to protect electrical wiring in your home or facility from damage caused by overcurrents, which include both overloads and short circuits. The CHQ series breakers are classified replacement circuit breakers, meaning they have been deemed suitable by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for use in load centers manufactured by other companies, specifically having been tested extensively in QO panels. This rigorous testing ensures compliance with identified safety standards.

The CHQ240 is a 2-pole breaker, requiring 1-1/2 inches of space in the load center, and is rated for 40 Amps at 240 Volts. It features a trip-to-off position mechanism for clear indication of a tripped state.
