Eaton type BR circuit breaker limited warranty June 2024
Plug-on mounting in BR load centers simplifies installation and reduces wiring errors, accelerating commissioning and minimizing field labor costs. The 35 A amperage rating paired with a 22 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust short-circuit protection, limiting damage and downtime in fault events. With two-pole operation at 120/240 V and a common trip, it delivers coordinated protection for multi-wire branch circuits, enhancing safety and simplifying code compliance in panel assemblies. The BRH235 is compatible with Type BR Loadcenters and accepts Cu/Al wire up to #14-4 AWG, offering wiring flexibility and quicker terminations in diverse installations. UL 490 certification and Federal Specifications W-C376 support regulatory compliance, while the BR family’s HACR-ready options and switching/shunt-trip/high-magnetic settings address HVAC and industrial control needs. The limited lifetime residential warranty and 1-year commercial warranty provide long-term ROI and lower lifecycle costs for facility owners and contractors.
