Eaton BRN120AF Single-Pole Type BR1 Combo Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker, 20A

Eaton’s Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) use advanced electronic technology to reduce fire hazards in electrical circuits, including connected cords. They meet the requirements of the UL Standard for Safety, UL 1699 for devices that reduce the effects of persistent arcing faults that may pose a risk of fire under certain conditions. Arcing creates high intensity heating at the point of the arc resulting in burning particles that may over time ignite surrounding material, such as wood framing or insulation. The BRN120AF is a 20 Amp combination type breaker that includes all the protection of the branch feeder, plus it directly detects persistent low current arcing faults down to 5 Amp to efficiently protect against fire hazards in the cords connected to outlets.

• Fire-guard model AFCI recognizes the unique current and/or voltage signatures associated with arcing faults and efficiently interrupts the circuit to reduce fire hazards
• Branch feeder mitigates parallel arcing faults, which produce the most energy of all arcing faults, in the complete circuit including connected cords for enhanced safety
• Combination type includes all the protection of the branch feeder, plus it directly detects persistent low current arcing faults down to 5 Amp to efficiently protect against fire hazards in the cords connected to outlets
• For use in type BR load centers
