BRCAF115 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

BRCAF115 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRCAF115 is a 15 Amp single-pole Combination AFCI circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters. In addition to standard overload and short-circuit protection, it helps detect arc faults that can occur when damaged wiring, loose connections, or worn electrical components create unintended electrical arcing. When an arc-fault condition is detected, the breaker interrupts power to the circuit, helping reduce the risk of electrical fires.

The BRCAF115 installs into compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters using a plug-on design and is commonly used for panel upgrades, remodeling projects, new construction, and breaker replacements. Electricians often select AFCI breakers when bringing electrical systems up to current code requirements or when replacing older protective devices in existing installations.

Whether you're updating a residential electrical panel or maintaining an existing system, the BRCAF115 provides a straightforward way to add arc-fault protection while maintaining compatibility with Eaton Type BR equipment.
