Crestron CLB-120-20A-GFCI – Ground Fault Circuit Breaker for CAEN-MLO, 120V, 20A

Product Overview

The Crestron CLB-120-20A-GFCI is a single-pole 20-amp, 120V ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breaker for use in the Crestron CAEN-MLO main lug only load center. Based on the Eaton Type CH platform (model CHFGF120PN), it provides both overcurrent protection and GFCI protection in a single plug-on-neutral breaker, meeting code requirements for wet and outdoor circuit protection in residential and commercial automation enclosures.

Product Description

Building code in the United States requires GFCI protection on circuits serving kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor outlets, and other locations where water contact is possible. The CLB-120-20A-GFCI satisfies those requirements when installed in a CAEN-MLO enclosure, allowing Crestron-controlled loads in these locations to be protected within the same panelboard assembly as the rest of the CLX lighting system. The plug-on neutral design simplifies installation — no neutral pigtail is required at the breaker. The 10 kAIC interrupting rating meets requirements for most residential and light commercial panel applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the CLB-120-20A-GFCI be used in a standard residential load center?

The CLB-120-20A-GFCI is based on the Eaton Type CH platform, which is compatible with Eaton CH load centers. However, Crestron specifies it for use in the CAEN-MLO enclosure within Crestron CLX lighting systems. Use in other panel types should be verified against Eaton CH compatibility tables before installation.

Does this breaker provide arc fault protection as well?

No. The CLB-120-20A-GFCI provides ground fault protection only. For circuits requiring combined arc fault and ground fault protection (AFCI/GFCI), a separate CAFCI breaker is required. Consult the Crestron product catalog or your Crestron distributor for available CAFCI options for the CAEN-MLO.
