BR235 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

BR235 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BR235 is a two-pole, 35 Amp circuit breaker for Eaton Type BR loadcenters. Rated for 120/240V AC applications, it is used on branch circuits that require a 35 Amp breaker and a common-trip configuration. Typical installations include air conditioning equipment, heat pumps, electric water heaters, pumps, compressors, electric heating equipment, and other dedicated 240-volt loads.

A thermal-magnetic trip unit handles both overload and short-circuit protection. If a fault occurs, the common-trip design opens both poles at the same time. The plug-on mounting style allows the breaker to fit directly into compatible Eaton BR panels without changing the existing panel layout.

The BR235 accepts #14–4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors and carries a 10 kAIC interrupting rating. It is frequently used when replacing an existing Type BR breaker, adding a dedicated circuit, or servicing a panel already built around Eaton BR equipment.

You'll find the BR235 in homes, apartments, garages, workshops, office spaces, retail buildings, and light commercial facilities. In many cases, the deciding factor is simple: the panel already uses Type BR breakers, and a 35 Amp two-pole breaker is what's required for the circuit.

Like other breakers in the Eaton BR family, the BR235 is intended for long-term use when installed in accordance with its ratings and application requirements.

Where It Works Best

• The BR235 is commonly used in Eaton Type BR panels installed in homes, apartments, condominiums, garages, workshops, offices, retail spaces, and light commercial facilities. Typical applications include air conditioning systems, heat pumps, electric water heaters, compressors, pumps, electric heating equipment, dedicated 240-volt circuits, and other electrical loads requiring a 35 Amp two-pole breaker. It is also frequently used during panel maintenance, circuit additions, and breaker replacement projects where an Eaton Type BR breaker is required.
