20 Amp Single Pole AFCI GFCI Circuit Breaker Cutler Hammer CHFP120A1CS

Description

Product Overview

The Cutler Hammer CHFP120A1CS is a 20 Amp single‑pole combination breaker that merges Arc‑Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) and Ground‑Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) technologies into one compact unit. Engineered for residential applications, this breaker provides comprehensive protection against both arc‑related electrical fires and dangerous ground faults. Its plug‑on neutral feature eliminates the need for separate neutral pigtails, allowing electricians to install or replace the breaker quickly and securely in standard panel boards. The unit meets UL 489 standards and carries a 10 kAIC rating, ensuring it can handle high fault currents while maintaining reliable operation. Constructed from high‑quality copper and polymer components, the breaker is built to endure the rigors of daily use and to deliver consistent performance over its service life.

Usage

Designed for typical home circuits, the CHFP120A1CS is ideal for protecting kitchen countertop outlets, bathroom receptacles, laundry rooms, and any area where moisture and high‑power appliances coexist. Homeowners and contractors alike appreciate the ease of installation: the plug‑on neutral eliminates extra wiring steps, reducing labor time and potential errors. Because the breaker combines AFCI and GFCI functions, a single device can replace two separate breakers, freeing up panel space and simplifying circuit management. It is also suitable for small workshops, home offices, and garage outlets where sensitive electronics and power tools operate side by side. The breaker’s 20 Amp rating matches the majority of residential branch circuits, making it a versatile choice for new construction or retrofit projects.
