BRH235 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

BRH235 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRH235 is a 35 Amp two-pole high-magnetic thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters. It is often used on your circuits serving air-conditioning equipment, heat pumps, refrigeration systems, compressors, pumps, and other motor-driven loads that may draw higher current during startup.

Its high-magnetic trip characteristic helps accommodate the temporary inrush current that occurs when motors start. In many applications, this can help you reduce nuisance tripping compared to standard breakers while still providing protection against overloads and short circuits. The common-trip design opens both poles simultaneously when a fault occurs, helping protect connected equipment and branch-circuit wiring.

The BRH235 installs using a plug-on connection and accepts #14–4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. With a 22 kAIC interrupting rating, it can be used in installations where available fault current levels exceed the ratings of many standard residential breakers.

For facilities already using Eaton Type BR equipment, the BRH235 offers a compatible replacement that maintains consistency within the existing electrical distribution system.

Where It Works Best

• The BRH235 is commonly installed in residential, commercial, and light industrial facilities that utilize Eaton Type BR loadcenters. Typical applications include air-conditioning condensers, heat pumps, refrigeration equipment, compressors, pumps, air handlers, and other motor-driven equipment that may experience elevated startup currents.
• It is frequently used during electrical maintenance projects, service upgrades, equipment replacements, and new installations where a 35 Amp two-pole high-magnetic breaker is specified. Its 22 kAIC interrupting rating also makes it suitable for installations where available fault current levels exceed the ratings of many standard residential breakers.
