Product FAQs
6 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the BRCAF120CS breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and legacy Bryant Type BR load centers that accept 1-inch plug-on breakers.
What does the CS suffix mean in the BRCAF120CS catalog number?
The CS suffix indicates that the breaker is packaged in a retail clamshell. The breaker itself is identical to the standard BRCAF120 20A combination AFCI breaker.
Which legacy Eaton breakers can the BRCAF120CS replace?
This combination AFCI breaker serves as a direct replacement for older Eaton and Cutler-Hammer BRCAF120 and BR120AF circuit breakers.
Does the BRCAF120CS require a plug-on neutral panel?
No. This breaker features a standard pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire connects directly to the neutral bus bar, allowing installation in older Type BR load centers that lack a plug-on neutral chassis.
What level of arc fault protection does this breaker offer?
As a Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter, it detects both series and parallel arcing faults down to 5 amps, providing comprehensive protection against electrical fires in residential branch circuits.
How does the LED trip indicator assist with troubleshooting?
The integrated LED displays specific blink patterns after a trip event. This diagnostic feature allows electricians to quickly identify whether the trip was caused by an arc fault, overcurrent, or short circuit.
