Eaton / Cutler-Hammer BR115CAFA AFCI Miniature Circuit Breaker

This breaker is designed for Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also UL listed for use in specific older Westinghouse, Challenger, and Bryant panels that accept Type BR or Type C breakers. Always verify your panel labeling for approved replacement types.

The BR115CAFA features a pigtail neutral connection, meaning the coiled white wire must be manually connected to the panel neutral bus bar. If your panel requires a plug-on neutral (PON) breaker without a pigtail, you will need the BRP115AF instead.

The older BR115AF is a Branch/Feeder AFCI, which only detects parallel arcs. The BR115CAFA is a newer Combination AFCI (CAFCI) that detects both parallel and series arcing faults, meeting modern National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for residential living spaces.

A Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI) provides enhanced fire protection by detecting both high-energy parallel arcs (line-to-neutral or line-to-ground) and low-energy series arcs (loose connections or damaged cords).

Yes, this breaker features a built-in diagnostic LED. When the breaker trips, the LED blinks a specific code to help electricians quickly identify the cause of the fault, such as an arc fault, ground fault, or thermal overload.

Yes, the BR115CAFA is the direct, updated replacement for the discontinued BRCAF115 and BRACAF115 models. It provides the same 15-amp combination arc fault protection and fits the same Type BR load centers.
