Plug-on mounting simplifies field wiring and accelerates installation. This reduces commissioning time and lowers labor costs on panel projects. Type BR loadcenters in commercial and light-industrial environments benefit from quick swaps and consistent torque without busbar disruptions. High-Magnetic setting with a 22 kAIC interrupt rating delivers fast, reliable fault interruption at 120/240 V. This performance reduces arc-flash exposure and minimizes downstream damage during short circuits, safeguarding motors and feeders in densely wired panels. The strong interrupt rating also supports code-compliant protection for commercial lighting, HVAC, and critical equipment circuits. Designed for Type BR Loadcenters, it matches form factor with other BR family devices, enabling standardized protection across a facility. 15 A rating and 120/240 V operation cover typical lighting, receptacle, and small-motor circuits. The BRH215 accepts #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors, supporting clean, secure terminations. Plug-on mounting further reduces installation complexity and speeds panel assembly, while the 2-pole design ensures straightforward multi-wire protection in shared feeders. Common breaker trip enables coordinated protection across all poles in a multi-pole circuit, reducing nuisance trips and enhancing overall system reliability in panel buses and distribution blocks. UL 490 certification and Federal Specifications W-C376 readiness support regulatory compliance and supplier confidence. The BRH215 is designed to integrate with Type BR Loadcenters, delivering predictable performance and simplifying spare parts inventories across projects. From a maintenance perspective, the BRH215’s compact packaging and plug-on compatibility translate to lower replacement risk and faster stock-turn. Field technicians experience fewer call-backs due to mis-sizing or incompatible mounting, delivering measurable ROI in ongoing operations and uptime for critical facilities.
