Eaton Cutler-Hammer BR230 Circuit Breaker
The Eaton Cutler-Hammer BR230 is a professional-grade two-pole circuit breaker designed for reliable overcurrent protection in residential and light commercial electrical systems. Engineered for use in Type BR load centers, this 1-inch plug-on unit features a 30 Amp capacity and a 120/240Vac voltage rating. With a 10,000 AIC (Ampere Interrupting Capacity) rating, the BR230 is built to handle high-stress fault conditions, ensuring the safety of branch circuits and connected equipment. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides precise response times for both short circuits and sustained overloads. Featuring a common trip bar for simultaneous disconnection of both poles, this double pole breaker simplifies installation for 240V appliances like water heaters and HVAC units. This genuine Eaton BR breaker utilizes a proven pressure plate wire connection for secure terminations and long-term conductivity in demanding environments.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Designed specifically for seamless integration into Eaton Type BR load centers and enclosures.
- Reliable Protection: High 10k AIC rating provides robust defense against system faults and surges.
- Contractor Grade: Durable construction meets UL 489 requirements for branch circuit protection.
- Efficient Installation: Plug-on design and 1-inch frame width optimize space within the panel.
Is the BR230 compatible with older Westinghouse or Challenger panels?
Yes, the Eaton BR series is the direct replacement for many legacy Westinghouse, Bryant, and Challenger Type C or Type BR load centers.
What wire size is required for a 30 Amp BR breaker?
Standard installations typically require 10 AWG copper or 8 AWG aluminum wire, though you should always verify based on local codes and run length.
Can this breaker be used for a 240V air conditioning circuit?
Yes, the two-pole 30A configuration is a standard specification for many residential condensing units and HVAC sub-panels.
