Product FAQs
7 answersWhat type of electrical panels are compatible with the BRN115AF?
This breaker is designed for use in standard Eaton Type BR load centers. Because it features a pigtail neutral, it can be installed in both traditional and Plug-On Neutral (PON) panels by wiring the pigtail directly to the neutral bus bar.
Can the BRN115AF replace the older BR115AF circuit breaker?
Yes, the BRN115AF is the direct, newer replacement for the legacy BR115AF. It provides the same 15-amp combination arc-fault protection and fits the same Type BR load centers.
What type of arc fault protection does the BRN115AF provide?
This breaker is a Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI). It actively monitors for both parallel and series arcing conditions to help prevent electrical fires, complying with modern NEC requirements for residential branch circuits.
How is the neutral connection made on the BRN115AF?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be routed and secured directly to the panel's neutral bus bar to ensure the arc-fault circuitry functions correctly.
Does the BRN115AF include diagnostic features for troubleshooting?
Yes, this breaker includes a built-in diagnostic LED indicator and a trip-to-center handle design. These features help electricians quickly identify the cause of a trip, such as an arc fault or an overload.
Can I use the BRN115AF in a Plug-On Neutral (PON) load center?
Yes, while it is a pigtail-style breaker, it can still be used in a PON panel by manually connecting the pigtail wire to the neutral bar. However, if you prefer a breaker that connects directly to the PON bus without a pigtail, you would need the BRP115AF instead.
Does the BRN115AF provide ground fault (GFCI) protection?
No, the BRN115AF provides only combination arc-fault (AFCI) protection. If your circuit requires both arc-fault and ground-fault protection, you will need a dual-function breaker like the BRN115DF.
