Rated for 10 kAIC at 240VAC, it utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements for reliable defense.

Product FAQs

6 answers
Can I install this 3-pole breaker in a single-phase residential panel?

No. The BR3100 is a 3-pole breaker designed for 3-phase distribution. It will not physically fit or function correctly in a standard single-phase Type BR panel, which only accommodates single and 2-pole breakers.

How much panel space is required to install the BR3100?

This breaker requires three standard 1-inch spaces, taking up a total width of 3 inches in a compatible Eaton Type BR load center.

Can I install a Type BR breaker in an Eaton Type CH load center?

No. Eaton Type BR and Type CH load centers feature completely different bus configurations. The BR3100 requires 1-inch spaces and will not physically fit into the 3/4-inch bus layout of a Type CH panel.

Will the Eaton BR3100 replace an older Bryant or Westinghouse breaker?

Yes. Eaton Type BR breakers are direct, UL-approved replacements for legacy Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse panels that accept BR-style plug-on breakers.

Do I need to use a hold-down kit when backfeeding this breaker?

Yes. If you are installing the BR3100 as a backfed main breaker, the National Electrical Code requires a compatible hold-down retainer kit to securely fasten the breaker to the panel bus bar.

Is this circuit breaker rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes. The Eaton BR3100 carries a listing for HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications, making it certified for use with modern HVAC equipment requiring overcurrent protection.
