Four-pole, 1-Inch quad design with a common trip simplifies protection across all poles, reducing wiring complexity and ensuring coordinated disconnection during faults in Type BR Loadcenters. Business impact: faster commissioning, safer panels, and lower risk of cross-circuit faults. Application: residential and light commercial distribution panels where space is limited and reliable shutdown is required. Four-pole, 30 A per pole with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust fault handling without nuisance tripping, improving uptime and equipment protection in automation panels. Business impact: minimizes downtime and protects motors, drives, and controls in industrial environments. Application: industrial control panels and automated lines where fault currents can be high. Wire size compatibility #14-4 AWG Cu/Al enables standard wiring practices, reducing accessories and cutting the wiring time. Business impact: lowers labor cost and accelerates install timelines. Application: new builds and retrofits in BR Loadcenters. UL 489 and Federal Specifications W-C375 certification support compliance and procurement confidence. Business impact: accelerates approval processes and simplifies vendor qualification. Application: regulated facilities requiring formal certifications. Catalog Notes Non-CTL compatibility indicates flexibility in non-CTL panel configurations, expanding siting options. Business impact: avoids panel constraints and enables broader deployment.

FAQs

The BRDC230230 is designed for Eaton Type BR Loadcenters and fits the standard 1-Inch BR quad format. It accepts #14-4 AWG Cu/Al wiring and supports 120/240 V systems, enabling straightforward replacement or retrofits in BR panels without changing accessory hardware.
This device is a four-pole breaker with each pole rated at 30 A, totaling 120 A across the assembly. It operates at 120/240 V with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It is UL 489 listed and complies with Federal Specifications W-C375, making it suitable for residential and light commercial panels.
Yes. BRDC230230 carries UL 489 certification and meets Federal Specifications W-C375. This combination ensures regulatory compliance, supplier confidence, and dependable performance in Type BR Loadcenters used in building automation and electrical protection schemes.
A common-trip four-pole BR breaker simultaneously opens all four poles when a fault is detected, preventing backfeed and ensuring coordinated protection across multi-pole circuits. This simplifies panel protection, reduces miscoordination risk, and enhances safety in complex control circuits and motor loads.
Install BRDC230230 directly into Type BR Loadcenters using #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors. Verify panel space for a four-pole unit, ensure proper torque on lugs, and confirm 120/240 V compatibility. The unit’s 3x3x2 in footprint and 0.8 lb weight aid mounting and layout in space-constrained panels while maintaining regulatory compliance.
