Eaton CH8L125SP 125A Main Lug Load Center, 8-Space, 25kAIC, NEMA 1 Surface Mount

Eaton CH8L125SP 125A Main Lug Load Center, 8-Space, 25kAIC, NEMA 1 Surface Mount

Setting up a 125A main lug sub-panel or swapping out a tired load center? The Eaton CH8L125SP gives you 8 full-size spaces, good for up to 16 circuits with tandems, on a copper bus rated 120/240V single-phase with a 25 kAIC interrupting rating. It is main lug only, so you will feed it from an upstream main breaker or pair it with a separate main disconnect at the service entrance.

This one is a surface-mount NEMA 1 indoor box built for Eaton Type CH breakers, with top or bottom feed and lugs sized for #6 to 1/0 AWG. Heads up before you order: the ground bar kit is not in the box, so pick it up separately if the job needs one. UL 50 and UL 67 listed.
