Product FAQs

8 answers
Which load centers are compatible with the BR115AF circuit breaker?

The BR115AF is UL listed for installation in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and legacy Bryant Type BR load centers. It is not interchangeable with Square D, Siemens, or GE panels.

How is the pigtail neutral connected on the BR115AF?

The coiled white pigtail wire must be routed and secured directly to the panel neutral bus bar. This connection is required to power the internal arc fault detection circuitry.

Can I use the BR115AF with aluminum wiring?

Yes, the box lugs are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. They accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 4 AWG, making them suitable for standard 15A branch circuit wiring.

What is the difference between the BR115AF and the BR115CAF?

The BR115AF is a branch/feeder AFCI, while the BR115CAF is a combination AFCI. The BR115CAF, along with the newer BRN115AF, serve as direct replacements that detect a wider range of arc faults to meet updated NEC requirements.

What type of arc fault protection does the BR115AF provide?

As a branch/feeder AFCI, it is designed to detect high-energy parallel arc faults, such as line-to-neutral or line-to-ground arcs. It mitigates fire risks in the branch circuit wiring while providing standard thermal-magnetic overload and short-circuit protection.

How do you verify the arc fault detection is working?

After installation, energize the circuit and press the test button located on the front of the breaker. The breaker should trip immediately, confirming the internal AFCI circuitry is operational.

Is the 10kAIC rating sufficient for residential applications?

Yes, a 10kAIC interrupting rating is the standard requirement for most residential single-phase load centers. It ensures the breaker can safely clear up to 10,000 amps of short-circuit current at 120VAC.

How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit operate on this breaker?

The BR115AF features fixed Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions. The thermal component provides a delayed trip for sustained overloads, while the magnetic component trips instantly in the event of a short circuit.
