Eaton BRNSURGE10 Surge Protection Device - UL 1449

Plug-on module form factor enables quick installation and minimizes wiring, reducing commissioning time and labor costs in both new builds and retrofit projects. The BRNSURGE10 integrates directly onto Eaton BR-type breakers, allowing technicians to add surge protection without removing existing devices. This streamlined approach supports faster project timelines and more predictable budgeting, particularly in facilities upgrading aging panels or expanding critical power rails. L-N and L-L protection provides robust surge defense across a range of loading configurations, safeguarding sensitive electronics such as PLCs, drives, and sensors. By clamping transients at the source, it minimizes voltage excursions that can trigger nuisance trips or cause premature component wear. In practice, that means fewer unplanned outages, reduced warranty claims, and longer asset lifespans in manufacturing lines and data centers. With a 10 kA interrupt rating and a 20 kA surge current capacity, the BRNSURGE10 handles high-energy events typical of industrial environments. This capacity reduces the likelihood of damage to downstream equipment during lightning strikes or fault-induced surges, supporting safer, more reliable shutdowns and faster recovery after disturbances. The two-pole construction with a pig-tail neutral also simplifies wiring and improves fault isolation in compact panel layouts. Operating voltage ratings of 150 V L-N and 300 V L-L align with standard US 120/240 VAC systems, enabling straightforward selection for existing installations without overdesign. The compact footprint—3.6 in long, 3.5 in wide, 2.25 in high—and a light 0.418 lb weight help preserve space in crowded panels while maintaining robust protection. Installation benefits are complemented by UL and cUL certifications that support compliant deployments. UL 1449 and cUL certifications provide regulatory assurance for a wide range of industries, including machine builders, OEMs, and facilities with stringent safety requirements. The device is designed for Type BR circuits, ensuring compatibility with Eaton's ecosystem and minimizing installation risk. The result is a reliable, scalable protection solution that can be specified widely across power distribution upgrades and new panel builds.
