Eaton BRH230 - Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton BRH230 molded case circuit breaker is a compact, dependable solution for protecting branch circuits from overcurrent and short circuits in panelboards and load centers. Designed to fit seamlessly with matching OEM load centers, this breaker helps you build safer electrical systems with minimal panel footprint.

• Space-efficient, molded-case design: The compact form factor helps maximize usable panel space, letting you fit more circuits into residential subpanels, commercial panels, or light industrial installations without sacrificing protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: A robust thermal element combined with magnetic coordination delivers stable, repeatable protection across a wide range of loads and ambient temperatures. You get reliable tripping behavior you can count on during inrushs, surges, and steady overcurrent conditions.
• OEM-compatible installation: Engineered to work with the corresponding OEM loadcenters and panelboards, simplifying upgrades, replacements, and serviceability while maintaining electrical code alignment.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial circuits, making it a practical choice for feeders, lighting, receptacle branches, and small equipment loads.

The BRH230 is more than just a breaker—it’s a protective solution that minimizes downtime and protects wiring and devices from damage due to overcurrent and short circuits. Its molded-case construction reduces energization resistance and arc exposure while providing predictable trip characteristics, so maintenance teams and technicians can plan servicing with confidence.

Key advantages in real-world scenarios

- In a multifamily dwelling, the BRH230 helps ensure that a fault on one circuit doesn’t cascade, preserving essential services in other areas.
- In a small business storefront or office suite, you’ll appreciate quick resets after a nuisance fault without replacing fuses or dealing with uncertain protection margins.
- In light industrial setups, dependable short-circuit protection protects motors, control circuits, and lighting runs, while leaving headroom for typical startup currents.
