BR120CAF - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

BR120CAF - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BR120CAF circuit breaker is a 20-amp, single-pole plug-on breaker designed to provide branch circuit protection in 120VAC electrical systems. Built on the BRAF frame platform, this HACR-rated breaker features Combination Type Arc Fault Circuit Interruption (CAFCI) to help detect and mitigate potentially dangerous arc faults in residential and light commercial applications. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating at 120VAC, the BR120CAF is engineered for proper form, fit, and function in compatible load centers requiring this specific configuration. Designed for dependable operation and long service life, this breaker is built to last while helping maintain electrical system safety and code compliance.
