Product FAQs
6 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the BRH120AF?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Type BR load centers. It requires a standard 1-inch space and is not compatible with Eaton Type CH panels or competitor load centers.
What does the H in the BRH120AF catalog number signify?
The H indicates a high interrupting rating. The BRH120AF is rated for 22kAIC at 120/240VAC, whereas the standard BR120AF is rated for 10kAIC.
What type of arc fault protection does the BRH120AF provide?
The BRH120AF is a Branch/Feeder AFCI. It is designed to mitigate high-current parallel arcing faults in the branch circuit wiring and connected cords.
How is the neutral connection made for the BRH120AF?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral wire. The pigtail must be routed and terminated directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center for the arc fault circuitry to function correctly.
Can the BRH120AF replace a standard BR120AF?
Yes. The BRH120AF shares the same physical dimensions and plug-on mounting as the BR120AF, but provides a higher 22kAIC interrupting rating.
What is the difference between the BRH120AF and the BRHN120AF?
The BRH120AF is a Branch/Feeder AFCI. The BRHN120AF is the newer Combination Type AFCI replacement, designed to meet updated National Electrical Code requirements for detecting both parallel and series arcing faults.
