BRH215 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

BRH215 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRH215 is a 15 Amp two-pole high-magnetic thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters. It provides protection against overloads and short circuits while helping you reduce nuisance tripping in applications that experience temporary inrush currents during startup.

This breaker installs using a plug-on connection and accepts #14–4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Its 22 kAIC interrupting rating allows it to be used in applications where available fault current levels exceed the capabilities of many standard residential breakers. Electricians commonly use the BRH215 during equipment replacements, service work, panel upgrades, and new installations where a 15 Amp two-pole high-magnetic breaker is specified.

Where It Works Best

• The BRH215 is commonly installed in residential, commercial, and light industrial facilities that utilize Eaton Type BR loadcenters. Typical applications include HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, compressors, pumps, air-handling equipment, and other motor-driven loads that may experience higher startup currents.
• It is frequently used during electrical maintenance projects, equipment replacements, service upgrades, and new installations where a 15 Amp two-pole high-magnetic breaker is required. Its 22 kAIC interrupting rating also makes it suitable for installations where available fault current levels exceed the ratings of many standard residential breakers.
