Overview
The Eaton BRN250GF is a 50 A, two-pole Type BR ground-fault circuit-interrupter breaker for compatible Eaton BR load centers. It combines thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection with Class A personnel ground-fault protection for 120/240 V AC circuits and carries a 10 kA interrupting rating.
Key Features
-
Class A GFCI protection: Electronic ground-fault sensing protects personnel while the breaker mechanism also responds to overloads and short circuits.
-
Common-trip operation: Both poles disconnect together when an overcurrent or ground-fault condition causes a trip.
-
Pigtail-neutral installation: The breaker neutral pigtail connects to the panel neutral bar; load and neutral conductors must follow Eaton's wiring diagram.
-
Compatibility: Use only in Eaton Type BR load centers that list this exact GFCI breaker configuration.
