Eaton BRH260 Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker - 22 kAIC

BRH260 delivers reliable protection with a compact 1-Inch plug-on footprint and a two-pole design rated at 60 A. Its 22 kAIC interrupt rating supports high fault-energy scenarios in modern panels, while 120/240 V operation covers typical residential, commercial, and light-industrial feeder circuits. This combination reduces panel depth requirements and simplifies mounting in Type BR Loadcenters, accelerating installation in new builds and retrofit projects. The device features a common breaker trip across poles, enabling synchronized protection for multi-wire branch circuits and minimizing nuisance trips caused by uncoordinated protection schemes. Plug-on mounting streamlines field retrofits, eliminating cumbersome drilling or enclosure modifications and improving first-pass install accuracy. Catalog notes show 10-150 A selectable amperage and options for switching duty, HACR, shunt-trip, and high-magnetic settings, giving engineers the flexibility to tailor protection to motors, lighting, or control circuits. This versatility supports compliance with project specifications and reduces the number of separate devices required in a panel. Wire size compatibility up to #4-1/0 AWG Cu/Al ensures the BRH260 can be mounted in existing feeders without re-termination or adapters, saving labor and error-prone rewiring during upgrades. UL 490 listing and Federal Specifications W-C376 compliance reinforce reliability and regulatory alignment across industries, from data centers to manufacturing floors. With Type BR Loadcenters support, the BRH260 integrates into standard electrical architectures, delivering predictable protection while lowering total cost of ownership through easier maintenance and long-term spare-part compatibility. BRH260 also supports reliable performance in motor controls and lighting panels, and engineers report quicker commissioning due to standardized layouts.
