Eaton type BR circuit breaker limited warranty June 2024
125 amp main lug capacity with 16 circuits in an 8-space enclosure enables compact, scalable distribution for light commercial panels. The configuration preserves branch circuit flexibility while maintaining robust conductor routing for neat terminations. Designed for surface mounting, installation is faster and more predictable in crowded equipment rooms. Aluminum bus material delivers lighter weight and corrosion resistance, improving handling during field terminations and service life in damp environments. The result is easier installation, fewer delamination risks, and lower labor costs during upgrades. NEMA 1 metallic enclosure provides indoor protection against dust and incidental contact, making this unit a reliable choice for offices, workshops, and light industrial settings. Surface mounting simplifies retrofits and reduces the need for deep cabinets or specialized mounting hardware. Dual grounds with GBK5 and GBK520 ground bars enhance grounding reliability, reduce impedance in fault conditions, and improve EMI/ground noise management in control panels. With a 10 kAIC interrupt rating and BR breaker compatibility, the unit meets short-circuit duty requirements while maintaining standardization with existing Eaton BR components. This compatibility also simplifies stocking and procurement, reducing downtime during maintenance. Solid warranty and service support—10-year warranty, UL listings, and Eaton datasheets—provide long-term confidence for mission-critical installations.
