Eaton BRH225 BR Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker - UL 490
Part Number: BRH225
Quick Summary
The Eaton BRH225 is a thermal magnetic circuit breaker used to protect branch circuits in residential and light commercial panels. Nuisance trips, compatibility concerns with BR Loadcenters, and the need for reliable coordination across multi-wire branch circuits can stall installations and drive maintenance costs. This device ships UL 490 certified and also aligns with Federal Specifications W-C376, offering versatility for HACR-rated loads and high-magnetic settings where fast clearing and selectivity matter. With plug-on mounting for Type BR load centers, it simplifies field wiring, reduces panel space requirements, and accelerates commissioning. The result is improved system reliability, easier procurement, and a lower total cost of ownership for electrical protection across fixed installations and retrofit projects.

Plug-on mounting and the BR form factor enable rapid installation and reduced field wiring errors, improving panel assembly efficiency and consistency. This directly lowers labor costs and accelerates project timelines, especially in retrofit projects where space and access are limited. The common breaker trip across two poles delivers coordinated protection for multi-wire circuits, reducing the risk of nuisance trips and improving overall system reliability in residential and light commercial panels. With a 25 A rating and 22 kAIC interrupt capacity, the BRH225 supports typical branch circuits while delivering fast fault clearance, enhancing equipment protection and reducing downtime in critical installations. Compliance with UL 490 and Federal Specifications W-C376 ensures code alignment and procurement confidence, while catalog options for HACR and high-magnetic settings expand protection for HVAC and motor loads. Compatibility with Type BR Loadcenters and standard #14-4 AWG Cu/Al wiring streamline both new installations and upgrades, minimizing changeouts and simplifying stocking for distributors and contractors. These characteristics combine to deliver better reliability, lower lifecycle costs, and predictable performance across industrial and commercial electrical protection schemes.

FAQs
BRH225 is a two-pole plug-on device designed for Type BR load centers. To install, align the breaker with the bus and snap it onto the panel's rails, then route #14-4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors to the two poles. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before installation and verify the common trip is intact for coordinated protection across both poles.
BRH225 is rated for 25 A with a 22 kAIC interrupt rating, suitable for 120/240 V circuits. It is a two-pole, BR-type plug-on breaker with a 3 x 3 x 2 inch footprint and a weight around 0.6 lb. It accepts #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors and provides a common trip to protect paired circuits in BR load centers.
Yes. Catalog notes indicate BRH225 is available in selections that support HACR, shunt trip, and high-magnetic settings, enabling it to handle HVAC and motor loads with proper coordination. This makes it appropriate for climate control panels and equipment that require specific trip characteristics while delivering standard protection in residential and light commercial installations.
BRH225 carries UL 490 certification for branch circuit protection and complies with Federal Specifications W-C376. These certifications ensure acceptance in regulated electrical installations and simplify procurement for code-compliant panel assemblies, while allowing seamless integration with Type BR Loadcenters.
Using BRH225 delivers reliable, coordinated protection with a common trip across poles, reducing miscoordination in multi-wire circuits. Plug-on mounting speeds field installs, while the 25 A rating and 22 kAIC interrupt capacity support a broad range of branch circuits, lowering downtime and maintenance costs in residential and light commercial panels.
