Product FAQs
5 answersWhat electrical panels are compatible with the BR120CAF breaker?
This breaker is designed for Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also UL-listed for use in legacy Westinghouse, Challenger, and Bryant panels that accept Type BR or Type C breakers.
How do I wire the pigtail neutral on the BR120CAF?
Connect the coiled white pigtail wire directly to the neutral bus bar in your load center. The load neutral wire from the branch circuit connects directly to the designated neutral lug on the breaker itself.
Can I install this pigtail breaker in a Plug-On Neutral load center?
Yes, pigtail breakers like the BR120CAF can be installed in Plug-On Neutral panels. You will simply connect the white pigtail wire to the neutral bus bar, just as you would in a standard load center.
What does combination arc fault protection mean for this breaker?
A Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI) detects both parallel and series arcing faults. This provides comprehensive protection against electrical fires and meets modern National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for living spaces and bedrooms.
Can the BR120CAF replace older Cutler-Hammer AFCI breakers?
Yes, the BR120CAF is an exact, direct replacement for the older BRCAF120 catalog number. It fits the same 1-inch space and provides the same combination arc-fault protection.
