BRCAF115 Cutler-Hammer AFCI Circuit Breaker

The BRCAF115 Cutler-Hammer AFCI Circuit Breaker is specifically engineered to protect against electrical fires caused by arcing faults. At a 15 Amp rating with a voltage rating of 120 volts, this circuit breaker is designed to fit seamlessly into type BR load centers, making it an ideal option for residential and commercial applications.

This breaker incorporates innovative FIRE-GUARD technology that efficiently identifies the distinct current and voltage signatures associated with arcing faults. By interrupting the circuit when an arc is detected, it significantly decreases the likelihood of fire hazards in your electrical system.

In addition to arcing fault detection, the BRCAF115 provides branch feeder protection, which is instrumental in mitigating parallel arcing faults that generate the most energy in a complete circuit. This feature includes protection for all connected cords, further enhancing safety within your electrical setup.

The circuit breaker has an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC, ensuring it can safely handle fault conditions. It is compatible with wire sizes ranging from #14 to #4 AWG for both copper and aluminum wiring at temperature ratings of 60°C or 75°C.

Durably constructed for lasting performance, the BRCAF115 is an essential addition to your electrical safety measures. Each case contains 10 breakers, providing you with the quantity needed for extensive applications or multiple installations.
