Product FAQs
9 answersCan I install this breaker in a Cutler-Hammer CH series panel?
No. This breaker is specifically designed for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type BR load centers. It is not compatible with Type CH panels, which require breakers with a different mounting footprint.
How do I connect the neutral wire on this breaker?
This model features a pigtail neutral connection. You must route the coiled white pigtail wire to the neutral bus bar in your panel and secure it, even if you are installing it in a newer plug-on neutral panel.
Does this breaker include diagnostic indicators?
Yes, it features an integral LED trip indicator that helps identify the specific cause of an arc fault trip, making troubleshooting faster for electricians.
What does the CS in the BRCAF115CS catalog number mean?
The CS suffix indicates that the breaker is supplied in retail clamshell packaging. The breaker itself is identical to the standard BRCAF115.
What is the direct replacement for older BR115AF breakers?
The BRCAF115CS is the direct, upgraded replacement for the older BR115AF. It provides combination arc fault protection, detecting both series and parallel arcing, whereas the older model was a branch-feeder AFCI.
Is there a newer version of this breaker available?
Yes, Eaton has introduced the BRN115AF as the updated pigtail neutral replacement for the BRCAF115 series. However, the BRCAF115CS remains an exact match for existing installations and older panels.
Can this breaker be used in systems requiring a 22kAIC rating?
No, this breaker has a maximum interrupting rating of 10kAIC at 120V. If your system requires a 22kAIC rating, you will need to source the BRHN115AF instead.
What is the difference between a standard AFCI and a combination AFCI?
A combination AFCI, like this model, detects both parallel arcing (line-to-neutral or line-to-ground) and series arcing (persistent low-current arcing in series with the load down to 5 amps). Older branch-feeder AFCIs only detected parallel arcing.
Does this breaker provide ground fault protection?
No, this is a combination arc fault (AFCI) breaker only. It does not provide ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI). If your circuit requires both, you will need a dual-function AFCI/GFCI breaker.
