BR120AF - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

BR120AF - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BR120AF circuit breaker is a 1-pole, 20-amp plug-on breaker designed for use in compatible load centers requiring Branch/Feeder Type Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) protection. Built on the BRAF frame, this breaker provides dependable overcurrent protection and arc fault detection in 120VAC applications. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating, it is engineered to meet the interruption requirements of many residential and light commercial branch circuits. The HACR rating allows for use in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications where permitted. Designed for proper form, fit, and function within compatible panels, the BR120AF installs easily and delivers consistent protection for legacy electrical distribution systems. These breakers are built to last and help maintain the safety and integrity of existing installations.

Where It Works Best

• The BR120AF circuit breaker is commonly used in residential load centers and light commercial panelboards requiring 20-amp, single-pole branch circuit protection with AFCI capability. It is well-suited for bedroom circuits, living areas, and other spaces where arc fault protection is required by code. Its HACR rating also makes it appropriate for certain HVAC-related branch circuits. This breaker is intended for use in compatible panels that accept the BRAF frame type and is ideal for maintaining existing electrical systems that call for this specific configuration.
