FAQs
Power down the panel, remove the dead-front cover, and identify the BR plug-on module location. Mount the BRNSURGE module onto the BR bus, connect L-N and L-L conductors according to the wiring diagram, secure all terminals, replace the panel cover, and restore power. Verify continuity and proper operation with diagnostic indicators or a test tool.
Yes. BRNSURGE is designed as a plug-on module for Eaton Type BR protection devices, delivering two-pole surge protection for L-N and L-L circuits and simplifying installation in BR-series panels and switchgear.
BRNSURGE supports 50/60 Hz operation, has an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC, a nominal discharge current of 3 kA, a measured limiting voltage of 600 V, and a maximum operating voltage of 150 V L-N / 300 V L-L. It also provides up to 18 kA surge current protection for transient events.
BRNSURGE is cUL certified and UL 1449 listed, signaling compliance with recognized safety and performance standards for surge protection devices. These certifications support regulatory approval and safe operation in industrial and commercial installations.
