Type BR plug-on module design simplifies installation and retrofit projects, snapping onto existing breakers and reducing panel disruption. This translates into lower labor costs and faster time-to-value for new builds and upgrades, especially in high-mix manufacturing environments. The two-pole protection delivers L-N and L-L coverage, limiting voltage transients that can damage motors, drives, and sensors, while offering a 10 kAIC interrupt rating and a 10 kA nominal discharge current for robust defense against surges. Operating at 50/60 Hz with a maximum of 150 V L-N and 300 V L-L, it aligns with common control circuits and machine panels, ensuring reliable performance in standard industrial environments. Its compact clamshell housing and 3.6 in length support easy installation in tight spaces and minimize panel footprint. Surge current handling up to 20 kA and a 10 kA short-circuit rating provide repeatable protection across multiple events, reducing replacement costs and downtime. Compatibility with Eaton Type BR breakers streamlines procurement and reduces integration risk, while the plug-on design minimizes wiring errors and simplifies retrofits for legacy systems. In practice, this surge protector helps manufacturers meet electrical safety programs and uptime targets, supporting compliant, scalable protection as automation footprints grow.
