Eaton Specification Sheet - BR816L125FP
Eaton type BR circuit breaker limited warranty June 2024
Feature → Business Impact → Application: 125 A main lug design reduces upfront cost by eliminating a main breaker in selective installations, while enabling reliable branch-circuit distribution for compact spaces. This translates to faster project timelines and lower parts inventory for small commercial or multifamily setups. Application: small offices, storage facilities, or retrofit projects where space is at a premium. Feature → Aluminum bus construction lowers weight and improves corrosion resistance, decreasing labor and transport costs during installation. Application: overhead or confined installations where ease of handling matters. Feature → 16 circuits across 8 spaces in a flush-mount, metallic NEMA 1 enclosure delivers a dense, code-compliant panel solution that fits tight mechanical envelopes. Application: electrical closets, utility rooms, and service panels in urban buildings. Feature → 120/240V single-phase capability aligns with typical branch circuits and lighting loads, enabling straightforward wiring schematics and reducing design complexity. Application: residential and light commercial power distribution. Feature → Ground bar included and 10-year warranty provide a faster, risk-mitigated install and long-term support. Application: ongoing maintenance cycles and compliance audits. Feature → 10 kAIC interrupt rating offers robust fault protection for typical commercial circuits, improving safety margins in populated installations. Application: panels serving higher fault current environments with confidence. Certification/Compliance: UL 50 and UL 67 listings reassure customers about enclosure integrity and safe operation, easing procurement and regulatory review for commercial projects.

FAQs
The BR816L125FP is a main lug loadcenter designed for 120/240V, single-phase service. It accepts branch circuits and BR-type components within an 8-space, 16-circuit footprint. This panel is flush-mounted in a metallic enclosure and ships with a ground bar included, supporting Cu/Al wiring up to #14-1. While it does not include a main breaker, it remains compatible with BR-series branch devices and standard 125 A service configurations when code-compliant, enabling straightforward integration into existing BR distributions.
The BR816L125FP provides a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, indicating the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt at the point of use. This rating enhances safety and reliability for typical commercial and light industrial loads where fault currents are a consideration. When selecting this panel, ensure the surrounding electrical system and feeders are sized to align with the 10 kAIC capability to maintain code compliance and protect personnel and equipment.
This model specifies a metallic NEMA 1 enclosure intended for indoor use where dry, non-corrosive conditions prevail. For outdoor or damp locations, additional protection or a weather-rated enclosure would be required. If outdoor installation is necessary, consider compliant enclosure upgrades or alternate models with appropriate NEMA/IP ratings to meet environmental exposure standards and local electrical codes.
The BR816L125FP carries UL 50 and UL 67 certifications, indicating validated enclosure integrity and panel performance under specified conditions. These certifications support safe operation for indoor distribution panels and simplify regulatory acceptance in many jurisdictions. Always verify local code adoption and ensure that installation practices conform to UL listings and manufacturer recommendations.
A 10-year warranty on the BR816L125FP reduces long-term ownership risk and helps justify initial procurement costs by providing assurance against manufacturing defects. The included ground bar speeds up grounding installations, reducing labor time during commissioning and maintenance. Together, these factors contribute to lower total cost of ownership and quicker ROI through faster installs and fewer field adjustments.
