Description
Engineered for modern residential safety, the Eaton BRN115DF delivers 15A dual-function protection. It meets NEC requirements by monitoring for both dangerous arcing conditions and ground faults in living spaces. This plug-on unit mounts into standard Eaton Type BR load centers and replaces the legacy BRLAFGF115. It utilizes a standard pigtail neutral connection. Rated at 10kAIC, the thermal-magnetic breaker features a short-body design and LED diagnostics to streamline troubleshooting.Specifications

Product FAQs
8 answersWill the BRN115DF work in an older Eaton or Cutler-Hammer BR panel that does not support plug-on neutrals?
Yes. The BRN115DF features a standard pigtail neutral wire, meaning it connects directly to the neutral bus bar. It is fully compatible with both legacy and modern Type BR load centers, regardless of whether they have plug-on neutral capability.
What older Cutler-Hammer or Eaton circuit breaker does the BRN115DF replace?
This unit is the direct, updated replacement for the legacy BRLAFGF115. It provides the same 15-amp dual-function protection for Type BR load centers but features updated internal diagnostics and a shorter body design.
How is the pigtail neutral on this breaker connected during installation?
The attached coiled white pigtail wire must be routed and secured directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center. The dedicated circuit neutral wire from the branch circuit then lands directly on the breaker's neutral terminal.
What specific protection zones are covered by this dual-function breaker?
A dual-function breaker provides both Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) protection against parallel and series arcing, and 5 mA Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection for personnel. This satisfies NEC requirements for circuits requiring both AFCI and GFCI protection, such as those in kitchens or laundry areas.
Can I retrofit a standard single-pole 15A BR breaker with the BRN115DF to meet new code requirements?
Yes. As long as the load center accepts Type BR breakers, swapping out a standard thermal-magnetic breaker for this dual-function unit is the standard method for bringing an existing residential circuit up to current NEC AFCI and GFCI requirements.
What distinguishes the Eaton BRN115DF from the BRP115DF?
The BRN115DF utilizes a standard pigtail neutral, making it backward compatible with older Eaton and Cutler-Hammer BR panels. The BRP115DF is a plug-on neutral (PON) version that eliminates the pigtail but requires a modern PON-compatible load center.
What is the required tightening torque for the load terminals on the BRN115DF?
The load terminals must be tightened to 20 pound-inches (lbf-in) to ensure a proper connection for the branch circuit wiring.
Does the BRN115DF feature diagnostic indicators for trip troubleshooting?
Yes. The breaker is equipped with LED diagnostics that display specific blink patterns. This allows electricians to quickly determine whether a trip was caused by an arc fault, a ground fault, or an overcurrent condition.
