    Types of Eaton Circuit Breakers

    Now that you understand the differences between Eaton CH breakers and BR breakers, let’s explore the types of breakers available. Again, most of these Eaton breaker types are available in both CH and BR versions.

     

    Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI)

    The Eaton arc fault breaker protects your home or business from the most common kind of electrical fire — arcing faults.

    Arc faults are created when damage to wiring causes loose wire connections. This forces electricity to leap across from one wire to the other, causing sparks or arcing. These generate heat and can quickly lead to a fire.

    Eaton AFCI breakers mitigate the risk of arc faults and feature enhanced electronics that make circuit diagnostics easy and store trip history in the breaker’s memory for easy tracking.

    AFCI breakers are equipped with seven trip codes and an LED signal that tells you which one has tripped the breaker. These codes include:

    • Thermal trip / manual disconnect
    • Low current
    • High current
    • Short delay
    • Overvoltage
    • Ground fault
    • Self test failure

     

    Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)

    Eaton ground fault breakers mitigate the risk of electrical shock in water. GFCI breakers are required anytime an application is near water or could be flooded (e.g. swimming pool, bathroom, kitchen, garage, and crawl space).

     

    Eaton Tandem Circuit Breakers

    An Eaton tandem breaker (also known as a duplex breaker) is a space-saving circuit breaker that can handle two electric circuits but only takes up one space in a loadcenter. We offer both Eaton BD breakers and BR tandem breakers. We also offer quadplex circuit breakers.
