Product FAQs

6 answers
Can I use the BW2150 as a branch breaker in a standard panel?

No, the BW2150 is a dedicated main breaker frame. It is designed to be installed as the primary service disconnect in compatible Eaton BR load centers and Type ECB unit enclosures, rather than as a standard plug-on branch breaker.

What is the difference between the Eaton BW2150 and BWH2150?

The primary difference is the interrupting capacity. The BW2150 is rated for 10kAIC at 240V, while the BWH2150 is a higher-rated version capable of handling 25kAIC for systems with higher available fault currents.

Does the BW2150 replace older Cutler-Hammer CM series breakers?

Yes, the BW2150 serves as a direct replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer CM2150 main breakers used in older BR load centers.

Are the lugs on the BW2150 rated for aluminum wire?

Yes, the factory-installed lugs are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors. They accommodate wire sizes ranging from 2 AWG up to 300 kcmil.

Is this breaker suitable for HVAC applications?

Yes, the BW2150 is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment loads.

Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?

No, the BW2150 is a standard thermal-magnetic main breaker. It provides long-time and instantaneous trip functions for overcurrent and short-circuit protection, but does not include ground-fault or arc-fault circuitry.
