The Cutler‑Hammer CL220 is a reliable Type CL thermal‑magnetic double‑pole circuit breaker designed for safe, code‑compliant replacement use in residential electrical systems. Manufactured by Eaton under the trusted Cutler‑Hammer name, this breaker is UL‑classified as a replacement breaker, making it a practical solution when servicing or upgrading existing electrical panels that are approved for Type CL devices.
With a double‑pole design, the CL220 is intended for 120/240‑volt branch circuits that require simultaneous disconnection of both ungrounded conductors. The internal common trip mechanism ensures that when a fault condition occurs on either pole, both poles open together, improving safety and helping protect wiring and connected equipment from damage.
Rated at 20 amps, this breaker is ideal for lighter 240‑volt loads and replacement applications where dependable performance is required. Its thermal‑magnetic trip unit delivers dual protection by responding to sustained overloads with a thermal element and reacting instantly to short‑circuit conditions with a magnetic element. This balanced protection helps reduce nuisance tripping while maintaining reliable circuit protection.
The plug‑on mounting design allows for quick and secure installation into compatible panels, reducing downtime during breaker replacement. Compact and efficient, the CL220 conserves panel space while providing dependable electrical protection backed by Eaton manufacturing standards.
