Product FAQs

6 answers
Can the Eaton BR230 replace older Bryant or Westinghouse breakers?

Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, and Westinghouse load center lines. The Eaton BR230 is the direct UL approved replacement for legacy Bryant and Westinghouse Type BR breakers.

Is the Eaton BR230 interchangeable with Cutler-Hammer Type CH breakers?

No. Although Eaton manufactures both product lines, Type BR and Type CH breakers have completely different physical dimensions and mounting styles. The BR230 will only mount in Type BR load centers.

Can I install the BR230 in a legacy Challenger electrical panel?

Yes. Eaton Type BR circuit breakers are UL listed as authorized replacements for Challenger Type C breakers in older Challenger load centers.

Is the BR230 circuit breaker HACR rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes. This 2 pole circuit breaker carries an HACR listing, which means it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads.

How much physical panel space does the BR230 occupy?

Since Type BR breakers have a standard 1-inch format per pole, this 2 pole breaker requires two adjacent 1-inch spaces in your load center.

What type of protection does the thermal magnetic trip unit provide?

The BR230 uses a fixed trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous functions. The thermal element provides inverse time protection against overloads, while the magnetic element responds immediately to short circuits.
