BRH290 - 90 Amp Circuit Breaker

BRH290 - 90 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRH290 is a 90 Amp two-pole HACR-rated circuit breaker designed for you to use in compatible Type BR loadcenters. It is commonly installed on 120/240V circuits serving larger electrical loads such as air-conditioning systems, heat pumps, refrigeration equipment, electric water heaters, air compressors, subpanels, and similar equipment that requires dedicated circuit protection.

Its two-pole design protects both legs of a 240-volt circuit, making it suitable for your applications with higher power requirements than standard branch circuits. The HACR rating makes it a common choice for heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment found in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

The BRH290 features a plug-on mounting design for installation in compatible 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 frequently specify this breaker for panel upgrades, equipment replacements, service work, and new installations requiring a 90 Amp two-pole breaker.

For facilities already utilizing Type BR equipment, the BRH290 provides a compatible replacement while maintaining consistency within the existing electrical distribution system.
