BRHH215 features a two-pole, 15 A Type BR plug-on design that installs quickly in BR Loadcenters. This streamlined mounting reduces field wiring complexity and accelerates panel upgrades, supporting reliable branch protection in commercial and light industrial panels. The plug-on format ensures secure, vibration-resistant connections and minimizes mis-wiring risks during maintenance. In addition, it delivers a 42 kAIC interrupt rating and a 120/240 V rating, ensuring robust fault handling for high-energy circuits. The common trip mechanism guarantees coordinated disconnect of both poles, enhancing safety for multi-wire branch circuits and reducing the likelihood of shared-neutral faults. Compatibility with #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors and a compact 3 x 3 x 2 in footprint fits tightly spaced panels without sacrificing protection. The 0.6 lb weight helps reduce shipping and handling costs on large orders, while the rugged construction supports industrial environments. UL 490 certification and Federal Specifications W-C376 compliance simplify regulatory approvals and maintenance planning. The available configurations support HACR and high-magnetic settings for HVAC and motor loads, with shunt-trip variants available in related catalog lines to satisfy critical safety needs. Together with Type BR Loadcenters, BRHH215 provides predictable long-term performance, minimizes nuisance trips, and lowers total cost of ownership through easy installation and consistent protection across the panel. This makes it an ideal choice for panel rebuilds, upgrades, and new installations in commercial construction.

FAQs
Yes. BRHH215 is a two-pole, plug-on circuit breaker designed specifically for Eaton Type BR Loadcenters. It mounts by plugging onto the bus, simplifying panel assembly and enabling straightforward upgrades. The unit supports #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors, and its compact 3 x 3 x 2 inch footprint fits in crowded panels while maintaining secure, vibration-resistant connections.
Key specs include a 15 A amperage rating, 120/240 V, and a 42 kAIC interrupt rating with a common trip for both poles. It offers HACR and high-magnetic options to accommodate HVAC equipment and motor loads, ensuring selective coordination and reduced nuisance trips during starting surges. This combination supports reliable protection in commercial and light industrial environments.
Ideal for BR Loadcenters in light commercial spaces, service panels, and equipment closets, BRHH215 supports motor and lighting circuits with robust 42 kAIC fault handling. Its plug-on design and 15 A rating suit branch circuits requiring dependable protection, compact footprint, and easy upgrades in densely populated panels and retrofit projects.
BRHH215 carries UL 490 certification and complies with Federal Specifications W-C376, ensuring regulatory compliance for Type BR installations. It supports common trip and other safety features, backed by a warranty program offering limited lifetime coverage for residential use and a one-year period for commercial applications, matching typical maintenance expectations.
Maintenance is minimal due to its robust mechanical design and standard UL certification. The product’s compact form factor and plug-on installation reduce commissioning time and field labor. Warranty coverage includes limited lifetime residential and one-year commercial terms, lowering long-term ownership risk and helping justify lifecycle costs in panel rebuilds and upgrades.
