BR115CAF - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

BR115CAF - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BR115CAF circuit breaker is a 15-amp, single-pole, plug-on breaker designed to provide reliable branch circuit protection in 120VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the BRAF frame platform, this HACR-rated breaker combines standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection with Combination Type Arc Fault Circuit Interruption (AFCI) to help reduce the risk of electrical fires caused by arc faults. Designed for proper form, fit, and function in compatible load centers, the BR115CAF installs easily using a plug-on connection and is built to last in residential and light commercial applications where AFCI protection is required.

Engineered to interrupt both parallel and series arc faults in addition to overloads and short circuits, this breaker supports code-compliant installations in dwelling units and other environments that call for combination-type AFCI protection. With a 10kA interrupting rating at 120VAC, it is suited for systems within its specified fault current limits. If you are maintaining or servicing an existing panel that requires a BRAF frame, plug-on configuration, the BR115CAF offers a dependable replacement solution that aligns with original equipment design and electrical ratings.
