BRH250 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

BRH250 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRH250 is a 50 Amp two-pole HACR-rated circuit breaker designed for you to use in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters. It is commonly installed on 120/240V circuits serving air-conditioning systems, heat pumps, refrigeration equipment, electric water heaters, compressors, and other larger electrical loads.

Its two-pole design protects both legs of a 240-volt circuit, making it suitable for your equipment that requires higher power demands than standard branch circuits. The HACR rating makes it appropriate for heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications found in residential and commercial buildings.

The BRH250 features a plug-on mounting design for installation in compatible Eaton Type BR panels. With a 22 kAIC interrupting rating, it can be used in applications where available fault current levels may exceed the ratings of many standard residential breakers. Electricians commonly use this breaker for service upgrades, equipment replacements, panel maintenance, and new installations requiring a 50 Amp two-pole breaker.

For facilities already utilizing Eaton Type BR equipment, the BRH250 provides a compatible replacement while maintaining consistency within the existing electrical distribution system.
