Eaton BRHH270 BR Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker - 42 kAIC

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The BRHH270 is a compact, 2-pole unit that mounts via plug-on installation, enabling faster field setup and reduced labor costs for panel builds. This translates to shorter downtime on new installations and streamlined maintenance rounds in steady-state operations. Application-wise, it excels in Type BR Loadcenters, where predictability in common-trip protection across feeders improves fault isolation and reduces nuisance trips during peak loads. Feature → Broad compatibility → The device accepts Cu/Al wiring up to #4-1/0 AWG, supporting mixed-conductor installations common in retrofit projects and new builds, while preserving standard enclosure space. Application-wise, engineers can confidently upgrade legacy panels without rewiring complexity. Feature → High-performance protection → With a 70A rating and 42 kAIC interrupt rating, the BRHH270 delivers robust short-circuit protection for medium-demand circuits, minimizing equipment damage and accelerating recovery in the event of faults. Application-wise, industrial control panels and commercial feeders benefit from reliable trip performance and predictable lifecycle costs. Feature → Compliance and options → UL 490 certification and W-C376 compliance ensure regulatory alignment, while catalog notes indicate available configurations for switching duty, HACR, shunt trip, and high-magnetic settings. Application-wise, this enables tailored protection schemes for HVAC, motor loads, and lighting circuits with scalable protection.
