BR270 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker Description
BR270 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker
The Eaton BR270 is a 70 Amp, two-pole circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters. Rated for 120/240V AC applications, it is commonly installed on larger dedicated circuits serving equipment such as air conditioning systems, heat pumps, electric water heaters, subpanels, pumps, compressors, and workshop equipment.
You'll find the BR270 in homes, apartment buildings, garages, workshops, office spaces, retail locations, and light commercial facilities. It's often installed anywhere additional capacity is needed for larger electrical loads that draw more power than standard branch circuits.

Where It Works Best
- The BR270 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, subpanels, pumps, compressors, workshop machinery, dedicated 240-volt circuits, and other electrical loads requiring a 70 Amp two-pole breaker. It is also frequently used during panel maintenance and breaker replacement projects where an Eaton Type BR breaker is already installed.
