Product Description
Eaton UL classified
Replacement Circuit Breakers
are available in both 3/4-inch
Type CHQ and 1-inch Type
CL, single- and two-pole
configurations. These
breakers are classified as
direct replacements by
Underwriters Laboratories.
In addition to a UL listing,
they also come with a
15-year warranty.
Specified vs. UL Classified
Specified breakers are listed
by the manufacturer of the
panelboard for use in a
particular panel. This doesn’t
mean that the panelboard
manufacturer produced the
specified breaker; it merely
means that the panelboard
manufacturer has tested the
breaker in the panel. In fact,
through the years, Eaton has
manufactured thousands of
breakers for other panelboard
manufacturers.
UL classified breakers
are produced by one
manufacturer for use in
place of the breakers
specified on the panelboard.
Like specified breakers,
UL classified breakers have
been tested in the panels for
which they are approved.
Testing
Classified breakers are
tested exten
sively in
numerous General Electric
®
,
Siemens
®
, Murray
®
,
Thomas & Betts
®
, Square D
®
,
and Crouse-Hinds
®
panels.
The tests are con
ducted with
witnesses from Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. and involve
short-circuit,
temperature,
and insertion/withdrawal
applications. This level of
testing ensures
that the
breakers meet identified
standards and have been
found suitable by UL for
the specified purpose.
Understanding Classified
Breaker Terminology
Definitions
Specified circuit breaker—
each manufacturer lists
the brands of circuit
breakers that can be used
in their panelboards. Often,
manufacturers will not list
competitors as specified,
even though they are
suitable replacements.
Classified circuit breaker—
a breaker that is considered
suitable, by a qualified third-
party organization, for use
in another manufacturer’s
panelboard.
Listed breaker—the listing
of a circuit breaker is by an
independent third party. Eaton
classified breakers are listed
by UL.
Labeled breaker—a breaker
with a label affixed by an
independent third party.
