Eaton BRH315 BR Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker - UL 490
Part Number: BRH315
Quick Summary
Eaton BRH315 BR Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker protects panels and machines against fault currents in 240 V distributions. In many projects, nuisance trips, limited compatibility, and sourcing delays in BR-type devices slow commissioning in compact load centers. UL 490 certification and Federal Specifications W-C376 compliance ensure reliable protection and regulatory alignment, while the Type BR 1-Inch plug-on design simplifies installation. This device is compatible with Type BR Loadcenters and is suited for 1-Inch mounting, delivering consistent protection across residential, commercial, and light-industrial applications. With a 15 A rating and a 22 kAIC interrupt capacity, it supports safe, scalable protection while enabling standardization and easier spare-part planning across facilities.

FAQs
BRH315 is a 3-pole, 1-Inch plug-on breaker designed to snap into Type BR bus assemblies. Verify 240 V rating, 15 A setting, and wire size #14-4 Cu/Al. Ensure panel labeling supports HACR or switching duty; connect per manufacturer guidelines, secure the breaker, and perform a standard trip test after installation.
BRH315 is a 3-pole device rated for 15 A at 240 V, with a 22 kAIC interrupt rating. It uses Type BR and BRH main circuit in a 1-Inch plug-on format, compatible with BR LoadCenters. It carries UL 490 certification, and supports #14-4 AWG Cu/Al wiring for typical branch circuits.
Yes. The BRH315 supports HACR-rated applications where controlled heating, air conditioning, or refrigeration loads are present. Select HACR-compatible settings as indicated by the catalog notes, and consider shunt-trip or high-magnetic options for critical loads to ensure appropriate protection and trip coordination.
BRH315 carries UL 490 certification and complies with Federal Specifications W-C376. These certifications ensure safety conformity and procurement compliance for electrical protection devices used in both commercial and industrial installations.
BRH315 provides reliable, standardized protection with a familiar Type BR form factor, reducing downtime during maintenance and simplifying spare-parts inventories. Its 22 kAIC rating and 240 V operation support a wide range of loads, enabling easier retrofits in BR load centers across facilities while maintaining regulatory alignment.
