Product FAQs
5 answersWhat does the "IT" in the BRL220AFIT catalog number indicate?
The "IT" stands for Independent Trip. This mechanism allows the two poles to trip independently, making the breaker suitable for multi-wire branch circuits that share a neutral.
Is the BRL220AFIT a combination type AFCI breaker?
No, this is a legacy branch/feeder AFCI breaker. If your local code requires combination AFCI protection, you will need the updated BRL220CAF model instead.
How is the neutral connection made on this breaker?
The BRL220AFIT features a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center to ensure proper arc fault detection. It does not connect directly to a Plug-On Neutral rail.
What load centers are compatible with the BRL220AFIT?
This breaker is designed specifically for use in Eaton Type BR load centers. It is not compatible with Type CH panels.
What is Fire-Guard technology in Eaton breakers?
Fire-Guard is Eaton's proprietary arc fault detection technology used in the BRL220AFIT to identify dangerous arcing faults and mitigate electrical fire risks.
