BR150 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

BR150 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BR150 is a 50 Amp single-pole breaker that fits Eaton Type BR loadcenters. Rated for 120/240VAC with a 10kAIC interrupting rating, it's typically found on circuits serving larger loads such as air conditioning equipment, electric water heaters, dedicated appliance circuits, workshop equipment, and other applications requiring a 50 Amp breaker.

For contractors and maintenance personnel, the BR150 is often a straightforward replacement when an existing Eaton Type BR breaker needs to be matched. The one-inch plug-on format fits compatible BR panels, helping maintain the original panel configuration without changing breaker styles or mounting methods.

You'll find breakers like the BR150 installed in homes, apartment buildings, retail stores, offices, workshops, and light commercial facilities. In many cases, the job isn't about upgrading a system—it's about finding the correct breaker for the panel that's already there. Matching the breaker type, amperage rating, and panel compatibility is what matters most.

Like many Eaton breakers that remain in service for years, the BR150 is built to last when installed and operated within its intended ratings.
