BR120 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker Description
BR120 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker
The Eaton BR120 is a 20 Amp, single-pole circuit breaker used in Eaton Type BR loadcenters. It is rated for 120/240V applications and is designed to protect branch circuits from overloads and short circuits.
If you're replacing an existing breaker, BR120 is the Eaton catalog number for a 20 Amp Type BR breaker with a plug-on connection and a 10 kAIC interrupting rating. The breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, which is the style commonly found in residential and light commercial electrical panels. The thermal portion responds to overload conditions that build over time, while the magnetic portion reacts to higher fault currents when a short circuit occurs.
You'll typically see this breaker installed on receptacle circuits, lighting circuits, garage circuits, utility room circuits, and other general-purpose 20 Amp branch circuits. Because it fits Eaton Type BR loadcenters, it's often used when maintaining existing panels or replacing a breaker with matching specifications. Like many Eaton breakers that have remained in service for years, the BR120 is built to last when properly installed and used within its ratings.
