Eaton BR two-pole ground fault circuit breaker

Eaton’s digital BR two-pole GFCI improves performance

and compatibility with 240 V applications

The redesign of Eaton’s BR two-pole ground fault circuit

breaker yields a new approach to ground fault protection

that significantly improves performance and compatibility

with 240 V applications, as well as diagnostic speed and

resolution of problems. Through its microprocessor-based

design, the BR two-pole ground fault circuit breaker makes

decisions about leakage and responds appropriately in

milliseconds, enabling the circuit breaker to disregard

transient conditions that could lead to tripping.

In addition to this enhanced level of protection, the BR

two-pole ground fault circuit breaker provides 12 new

trip code notifications to improve the accuracy of tripping

diagnosis, speeding troubleshooting and resolution time.

An ideal solution for variable frequency drives (VFDs) and

240 V equipment, Eaton’s BR two-pole ground fault circuit

breaker also features an improved series combination

interrupting rating, allowing for a more cost-efficient

project bill of material.

BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

Improved performance and compatibility —Digital ground

fault protection optimizes breaker response for VFDs and

240 V equipment.

Faster diagnosis and resolution—12 new codes with LED

indication identify specific indicators for the source behind

a tripping event.

Improved series ratings—The breaker’s higher series

combination interrupting ratings of up to 60 A provide

more cost-efficient bill of materials, most notably in

multi-family jobs.

NEC® compliance—Satisfies NEC 2020 and 2023 code

requirements that GFCIs be installed in kitchens, laundry

rooms and outdoor outlets as well as additional dwelling

units and appliances.

Reduced wiring costs—#3 AWG lugs lower costs through

use of aluminum wiring for 60 A or #3 copper for long

wire runs.

Quick and clean installation—Enables plug-on neutral

equipment up to 30 A.

Increased availability—Modular construction supports

increased manufacturing throughput and capacity for

readily available stock.
