Eaton BR4242L225NY Main Lug Loadcenter - UL 50/UL 67

The BR4242L225NY main lug loadcenter delivers 225 A capacity across 42 circuits in a compact, single-phase 120/240 V footprint with an aluminum bus. This configuration enables scalable distribution for residential and light commercial installations while preserving clean wire routing and ease of expansion. By leveraging common BR-series breakers, it minimizes parts diversity, reduces stocking needs, and supports predictable maintenance intervals. Enclosure and mounting flexibility are central design advantages. The unit uses a NEMA 1 galvanized steel enclosure with a box size B, offering robust protection in typical electrical rooms. Cover options include 3BR42ftny-flush or 3BR42stny-surface configurations, with covers sold separately to match site requirements, keeping upfront costs modest while preserving choice. Certifications and compliance are core risk mitigators. This BR loadcenter carries UL 50 and UL 67 listings and is EUSERC Approved, translating to code compliance in many jurisdictions and smoother inspections. It provides a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, supporting reliable fault-current handling for residential and light commercial feeds. Wiring, compatibility, and installation convenience are prioritised. It accepts #1 AWG to 300 kcmil Cu/Al conductors and is designed to be used with Type BR 1-inch breakers, ensuring continuity with existing installations. The combination mounting, along with the 42-space layout, enables straightforward busbar access and efficient field terminations, reducing labor time during retrofit projects. Operational value and lifecycle support are evident in the warranty and NYC readiness notes. With a 10-year warranty and explicit approval for NYC residential services above 150 A, this loadcenter delivers long-term reliability, lower total cost of ownership, and predictable performance under varying load conditions.
