Overview
The Eaton BR120 is a 20 A, one-pole Type BR thermal-magnetic circuit breaker for compatible Eaton BR load centers. Its plug-on construction, 120/240 V AC rating, and 10 kA interrupting rating make it a standard branch-circuit device for listed residential and light-commercial BR equipment.
Key Features
-
Overcurrent protection: Thermal action responds to sustained overloads and magnetic action responds rapidly to high-current short circuits.
-
Installation: One-inch Type BR plug-on construction connects to the bus in a compatible Eaton BR load center.
-
Compatibility: Intended only for load centers and enclosures whose labeling lists Eaton Type BR breakers.
-
Terminal capacity: Eaton specifies a #14–4 AWG copper or aluminum conductor range for the load terminal.
