Description
Engineered to double the circuit density of a single slot, this 15/20A tandem breaker is ideal for expanding existing electrical systems. It provides independent protection for two separate branch circuits within a one-inch profile. As a non-CTL device, it lacks a rejection clip, allowing installation into older Eaton BR, Challenger, and Westinghouse panels that accept unrestricted tandems. It replaces older MP1520 models. This component features a 10kAIC rating and is HACR approved.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat is the difference between the Eaton BR1520 and BD1520 circuit breakers?
The BR1520 is a Non-CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) tandem breaker without a rejection clip, designed for older legacy panels or specific non-CTL slots. The BD1520 is a CTL tandem breaker that includes a rejection clip and is used in modern panels designed to restrict the total number of tandem breakers.
Which load centers are compatible with the BR1520 tandem breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Type BR load centers, as well as legacy Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger panels that accept non-CTL breakers. Always verify that your specific panel model allows for tandem breakers in the intended slot.
Does the BR1520 feature a rejection clip for installation?
No, the BR1520 is a Non-CTL breaker and does not have a rejection clip. It is intended for panels that do not physically restrict the placement of tandem breakers.
How does the tandem configuration of the BR1520 work?
The BR1520 provides two independent circuits within a single 1-inch breaker space. It features one 15A pole and one 20A pole, allowing you to maximize capacity in a compatible load center without installing a subpanel.
Is the BR1520 suitable for use with heating and air conditioning equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits that require a 15A or 20A breaker.
Can I use the BR1520 to switch fluorescent lighting circuits on and off?
Yes, the 15A and 20A poles on this breaker are SWD (Switch Duty) rated, meaning they can be used for routine switching of fluorescent lighting loads without premature wear.
