Product FAQs
7 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the BRH215 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also a direct drop-in replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger Type BR panels.
What does the H in the BRH215 part number indicate?
The H stands for high-interrupting capacity. While standard BR215 breakers are rated at 10 kAIC, the BRH215 features a 22 kAIC interrupting rating for applications with higher available fault currents.
Is the Eaton BRH215 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 15A, 2-pole breaker.
Can I use the BRH215 to replace an older Westinghouse or Bryant breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse and Bryant electrical distribution lines. The modern Eaton Type BR series, including the BRH215, serves as the official replacement for obsolete Westinghouse and Bryant Type BR breakers.
What are the recommended wire torque specifications for the BRH215?
The required torque depends on the wire gauge used. Torque 14-10 AWG wire to 20 in-lbs, 8 AWG to 25 in-lbs, and 6-4 AWG to 35 in-lbs.
Does the BRH215 include ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The BRH215 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include GFCI or AFCI circuitry.
Does this 2-pole breaker feature a common trip mechanism?
Yes, the BRH215 features an internal common trip mechanism that ensures both poles disconnect simultaneously during an overload or short-circuit event.
