BRN115AF - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

BRN115AF - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRN115AF is a 15 Amp single-pole Combination Type AFCI circuit breaker designed for 120VAC branch circuits where your arc-fault protection is required. Installed in compatible Type BR loadcenters, this breaker combines traditional overload and short-circuit protection with arc-fault detection technology that helps you identify potentially hazardous wiring conditions before they become a larger problem.

AFCI breakers are commonly used on residential lighting and receptacle circuits throughout living areas of a home. The BRN115AF is designed to detect both series and parallel arc faults, which can occur due to damaged wiring, loose electrical connections, worn insulation, or deteriorating electrical devices. Because these conditions may develop out of sight behind walls, in ceilings, or inside electrical boxes, arc-fault protection has become an important part of modern residential electrical systems.

For electricians and homeowners looking to maintain code-compliant protection while keeping existing Type BR equipment in service, the BRN115AF offers a straightforward replacement option that combines circuit protection and AFCI functionality in a single device.
