Product FAQs
5 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the Eaton BRH270?
The BRH270 is designed for use in Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also UL-approved for installation in specific legacy Westinghouse, Challenger, and Bryant panels that accept Type BR breakers. Always verify your panel's labeling to confirm compatibility.
How many panel spaces does the BRH270 require?
As a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker with a 1-inch per pole width, the BRH270 requires two standard 1-inch spaces in your load center.
What is the difference between the Eaton BR270 and the BRH270?
The primary difference is the short circuit interrupting rating. The standard BR270 has a 10kAIC rating, while the BRH270 features a higher interrupting rating of 22kAIC at 240V for applications requiring greater fault protection.
Is the Eaton BRH270 HACR rated?
Yes, the BRH270 is HACR rated. This makes it suitable and code-compliant for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
Does the BRH270 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, the BRH270 is a standard thermal magnetic circuit breaker. It does not provide GFCI or AFCI protection.
