FAQs
The BRHH230 is a BR series, 1-Inch plug-on circuit breaker designed for Type BR Loadcenters. It supports 120/240 V, 30 A, two-pole configurations and uses #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors, making it suitable for residential and light commercial panels that require reliable common-trip protection.
A 42 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the breaker can safely interrupt fault currents up to 42 kiloamperes. This improves safety and reduces the risk of equipment damage in high-short-circuit scenarios, enabling better coordination with other protective devices in the same panel.
BRHH230 is suitable for both residential and light commercial deployments. Its Type BR plug-on design and common-trip capability support multi-pole protection in load centers commonly used in commercial spaces, while meeting UL 490 and Federal Specifications for broader procurement acceptance.
The BRHH230 carries UL 490 certification and complies with Federal Specifications W-C376, ensuring compliance with recognized safety standards and government procurement requirements. These certifications help streamline approvals, audits, and field installations in regulated environments.
Installers benefit from the plug-on mounting for quick replacement and a compact 3 x 3 x 2 in footprint. The unit’s warranty covers limited lifetime residential and 1-year commercial applications, with compatibility for Type BR Loadcenters and standard conductors (#14-4 AWG Cu/Al). Regular checks should confirm proper seating and torque per panel specifications.
