BRN120GF - 20A GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

BRN120GF - 20A GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRN120GF is a 20 Amp single-pole GFCI circuit breaker designed for circuits where ground-fault protection is required. Installed in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters and panelboards, this breaker combines standard overload and short-circuit protection with built-in Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) technology, helping you protect people from electrical shock in areas where moisture may be present.

Many of the circuits found in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms, unfinished basements, workshops, and outdoor spaces require GFCI protection under modern electrical codes. Instead of adding separate protective devices elsewhere in the circuit, the BRN120GF provides that protection directly at the panel. Its 5 mA ground-fault protection continuously monitors the circuit and trips when a ground-fault condition is detected.

The breaker's plug-on design allows for installation in compatible Type BR panels, making it a common choice for your panel upgrades, breaker replacements, remodeling projects, and new construction. The trip-to-center feature and GFI indicator also make it easier to identify a tripped breaker during troubleshooting.
