Eaton Specification Sheet - BRD230240
Eaton type BR circuit breaker limited warranty June 2024
Feature: Type BR 1-Inch quad circuit breaker with four poles and mixed amperage ratings (2 x 30 A, 2 x 40 A). Business Impact: Enables coordinated protection for multi-wire branch circuits in BR Loadcenters without sacrificing available panel space. Application: Ideal for mixed loads in residential and light commercial panels that require compact, high-density protection. Feature: Thermal magnetic trip (T194) providing both overload and short-circuit protection. Business Impact: Reduces nuisance trips on varying load profiles and improves fault discrimination, lowering downtime and maintenance costs. Application: Critical for motors, lighting, and receptacle circuits in BR panels. Feature: Wire size support #14-4 AWG Cu/Al and four-pole configuration. Business Impact: Simplifies wiring schemes, facilitates neat, code-compliant terminations, and supports safe, scalable installations. Application: BR Loadcenters in retrofit or new build projects. Feature: Compliance and certification including UL 489 and Federal Specifications W-C375. Business Impact: Assurance of safety, reliability, and interchangeability with existing Eaton BR components. Application: Regulatory-compliant protection for commercial and industrial installations. Feature: Compact footprint and light weight (3 in x 3 in x 2 in, 0.8 lb). Business Impact: Easier handling, faster installation, and better panel density. Application: Space-constrained BR Loadcenters and retrofit projects.
