Eaton type BR circuit breaker limited warranty June 2024
Quad four-pole configuration with two 30 A poles and two 50 A poles provides comprehensive branch protection while simplifying panel wiring. This design reduces assembly time and improves trip coordination across circuits, enabling faster upgrades and fewer field errors in BR Loadcenters. The device is rated for 120/240 V and carries a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering high fault current protection and helping to limit downstream damage in the event of a short circuit. UL 489 certification and Federal Specifications W-C375 compliance ensure code-aligned performance and traceability, supporting regulatory documentation for audits and project approvals. Wire sizing supports #14-4 AWG Cu/Al, promoting compatibility with common branch wiring practices and reducing sourcing complexity. At 3 in by 3 in by 2 in and 0.8 lb, the unit fits tightly in compact panels while maintaining ease of handling during installation. Non-CTL catalog notes enhance compatibility with legacy BR panels, aiding retrofits and replacements. The overall result is a space-efficient, reliable protection solution for Type BR Load Centers in both new builds and modernization projects.

FAQs
The BRD230250 is a four-pole BR thermal magnetic breaker designed specifically for Eaton Type BR Loadcenters. It supports #14-4 AWG Cu/Al wiring and provides protection for multiple circuits within 120/240 V systems, delivering straightforward replacement and reliable performance in BR panels.
A 10 kAIC rating indicates the breaker can safely interrupt short-circuit currents up to 10,000 amperes at the rated voltage. This enhances fault protection, minimizes insulation damage, and reduces downtime by containing fault energy within the device and connected conductors.
BRD230250 is a four-pole unit with two 30 A poles and two 50 A poles, rated for 120/240 V. It accepts #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors, enabling mixed-circuit protection within a single, compact frame for BR Load Centers.
The breaker carries UL 489 certification and Federal Specifications W-C375 compliance, ensuring safety and regulatory alignment. It is noted as Non-CTL, which can simplify replacement in legacy BR panels without requiring current-technology (CTL) chassis components.
BRD230250 measures 3 inches long, 3 inches high, and 2 inches wide, and weighs 0.8 pounds, making it a compact option for space-constrained panels and retrofit projects.
