Feature → Business Impact → Application: Type BR plug-on module design enables quick retrofits in BR panels, reducing installation time and labor costs while preserving panel space for other devices. This translates to faster project timelines and lower field labor expenses in automation upgrades or new machine builds. Feature → 50/60 Hz operation with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust protection against frequent transients, protecting critical loads, drives, and programmable logic controllers, improving uptime and extending equipment life across manufacturing lines. Application: ideal for control panels in automotive, packaging, and process industries seeking reliable surge protection without panel redesign. Feature → 3 kA nominal discharge current and 18 kA surge current capability provide strong overload tolerance, reducing nuisance trips during large transient events and safeguarding sensitive devices like PLCs, HMIs, and motor starters. Business impact: lowers unplanned downtime and maintenance costs in high‑transient environments. Application: data centers and process automation rooms requiring dependable L-N and L-L protection. Feature → Measured limiting voltage of 600 V and maximum operating voltages of 150 V L-N / 300 V L-L ensure consistent performance under varying supply conditions, supporting compliance with industry surge standards. Application: electrical distribution systems in industrial facilities that demand predictable protection margins. Feature → Compact two‑pole clamshell housing simplifies installation and replacement, facilitating maintenance and upgrades in crowded panels. Business impact: minimizes downtime during protection upgrades and reduces total cost of ownership. Application: retrofit projects and new installations where BR protection is already in place.

FAQs
Installation is performed inside an Eaton Type BR panel. The BRNSURGECS is a two-pole clamshell module that connects to L-N and L-L circuits, compatible with 50/60 Hz systems. Its compact dimensions (2.657 in depth, 2.9 in height, 1.98 in width) and 0.35 lb weight simplify mounting, wiring, and future replacement without major panel rework.
BRNSURGECS carries UL 1449 and cUL certifications, confirming compliance with surge protection requirements for electrical equipment. It is rated for 50/60 Hz operation, has a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, 3 kA nominal discharge current, and supports up to 18 kA surge current, with a measured limiting voltage of 600 V.
Yes. BRNSURGECS is designed as a Type BR plug-on module, ensuring seamless integration with existing BR panel architectures. Its clamshell two-pole design and compact footprint fit alongside other BR devices, enabling straightforward upgrades or retrofits without modifying major panel components.
Applications include industrial control panels, motor drives, automation cabinets, and data-center peripherals where L-N and L-L protection is critical. The device enhances uptime, protects PLCs and HMIs from transient events, and supports compliance with surge standards in manufacturing, packaging, and process industries.
Maintenance is minimal due to a plug-on module design that simplifies replacement. The ROI comes from reduced downtime, less field damage from transient events, and longer equipment life. Certification to UL 1449 and cUL provides confidence in reliability, while the compact form reduces retrofit costs in existing BR panels.
