FAQs
Yes. BRH150 uses the Type BR 1-Inch plug-on format and is designed specifically for BR Loadcenters, enabling a straightforward retrofit or replacement without panel modifications. It supports standard #14-4 AWG Cu/Al wiring and a single-pole configuration for compact installations.
The BRH150 is rated at 50 A with a 120/240 V voltage rating and a 22 kAIC interrupt capacity. It is a single-pole, plug-on circuit breaker compatible with BR Loadcenters, suitable for protecting typical branch circuits in both residential and light-commercial panels.
Yes. Catalog notes indicate that selected amperage options, including HACR and shunt-trip configurations, are available. This enables coordinated control for HVAC-related circuits and enhanced safety features when required by the installation or code.
BRH150 carries UL 490 certification for safety. It also aligns with Federal Specifications W-C376 compliance, signaling suitability for standard load-center applications and regulatory acceptance in many jurisdictions.
Use the plug-on mounting to minimize wiring mistakes and panel downtime. Ensure #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors are used, verify the panel is BR Loadcenter-compatible, and select the appropriate amperage and trip setting (including HACR/shunt-trip options if needed) to optimize protection and maintenance intervals.
