Product FAQs

6 answers
Is the BR120AFCS compatible with all Eaton load centers?

No, it is specifically designed for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Type BR load centers. It will not fit in CH series or other manufacturer panels.

Can the BR120AFCS be used to replace older BRN120AF breakers?

Yes, this model serves as a direct drop-in replacement for older BRN120AF branch/feeder AFCI breakers in existing Type BR panels.

What does the "CS" suffix in the BR120AFCS part number mean?

The "CS" designates clamshell retail packaging. The breaker itself provides the exact same fit and function as the standard BR120AF model.

Does this breaker require a plug-on neutral load center?

No, the BR120AFCS features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be manually routed and terminated at the panel's neutral bus bar, making it compatible with standard (non-plug-on neutral) Type BR load centers.

What type of arc fault detection does this breaker provide?

The BR120AFCS is a branch/feeder AFCI. It is designed to detect parallel arcs to mitigate electrical fire risks, in addition to providing standard thermal-magnetic overload and short-circuit protection.

What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the BR120AFCS?

The box lugs accommodate copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG up to 4 AWG, providing flexibility for various branch circuit wiring requirements.
