Product FAQs
8 answersWhat is the purpose of the switching neutral feature on the BRSN215?
The switching neutral design simultaneously disconnects both the ungrounded (hot) and grounded (neutral) conductors when the breaker trips or is manually turned off. One pole provides standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection, while the second pole acts as a non-automatic switch dedicated to opening the neutral circuit.
Where are switching neutral breakers typically installed?
They are frequently used in specialized commercial applications like gasoline pumps and fuel dispensing equipment. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires all conductors, including the grounded neutral, to be disconnected simultaneously in these hazardous locations.
Can this breaker be used for standard 240V appliances like water heaters or dryers?
No. Although it occupies two spaces in the panel, the BRSN215 is a 120V breaker designed specifically to switch one hot leg and one neutral leg. It cannot be used to supply 240V power to standard two-pole loads.
Will the BRSN215 fit in older Cutler-Hammer or Westinghouse panels?
Yes, Eaton Type BR breakers are backward compatible with legacy Cutler-Hammer, Westinghouse, Bryant, and Challenger load centers that accept 1-inch plug-on BR style breakers.
Does the neutral pole on the BRSN215 provide overcurrent protection?
No. The neutral pole is non-automatic and only acts as a switch. Overcurrent protection is provided solely by the hot pole, which will trip both poles simultaneously during an overload or short circuit.
How many panel spaces does the BRSN215 require?
This breaker requires two standard 1-inch spaces in an Eaton Type BR load center.
Is the BRSN215 a Ground Fault (GFCI) or Arc Fault (AFCI) breaker?
No. The BRSN215 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker with a switching neutral. It does not provide GFCI or AFCI protection.
What legacy brands can the BRSN215 replace?
The Eaton BRSN215 is a direct replacement for identical switching neutral breakers previously manufactured under the Cutler-Hammer, Westinghouse, and Bryant brand names.
