• Poles: 1-Pole
• Breaker type: AFCI Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker

Where it fits best

The BRC115AF is engineered for flexible deployment in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels. Ideal for industrial environments, commercial applications, and OEM equipment where compact, reliable arc-fault protection is essential for safe operation and compliance in distribution panels and motor control centers.

Why this AFCI matters

Arc-fault protection detects dangerous arcing events that can ignite fires, and the AFCI technology in the BRC115AF interrupts the circuit promptly to stop damage. In a single-pole footprint, it provides targeted protection for critical branch circuits without adding bulk to your enclosure. This means safer start-ups, reduced nuisance trips on normal equipment operation, and easier integration into existing Eaton Cutler-Hammer ecosystems.

Who should consider the Cutler Hammer BRC115AF

• Facility managers upgrading distribution panels to meet modern AFCI requirements
• OEM designers incorporating reliable arc-fault protection into control panels and motor control centers
• Electrical contractors seeking a dependable, compatible 15A AFCI breaker for commercial or light industrial circuits

Practical use cases

• Branch circuits feeding lighting and receptacle outlets in commercial spaces where AFCI is recommended for fire prevention
• Control circuits in machine enclosures and motor control centers requiring single-pole protection
• Panelboard updates where a compact, easy-to-install AFCI device is preferred to standard breakers

What sets it apart

Unlike generic breakers, the Cutler Hammer BRC115AF is purpose-built for environments that demand both precise arc-fault detection and robust overcurrent protection in a compact, one-pole form factor. Its integration with the Cutler-Hammer product family ensures seamless compatibility with existing panels, reducing installation risk and simplifying maintenance across panelboards, switchboards, and control panels.

Installation considerations and tips

Ensure the device is appropriate for your panel’s labeling and that the circuit wiring matches the 15A, 1-Pole configuration. This breaker is designed for industrial, commercial, and OEM applications where dependable protection and safe operation in distribution panels and motor control centers are critical. For best results, pair the BRC115AF with compatible Eaton components and follow standard electrical practices for AFCI installation.
