Eaton Type BR 15A 1-Pole Dual Function AFCI/GFCI Circuit Breaker | Arc & Ground Fault Protection

Overview

The Eaton Type BR 15-Amp 1-Pole Dual Function AFCI/GFCI Circuit Breaker combines arc-fault and ground-fault protection into a single, easy-to-reset device. Designed for residential panels, it simplifies protection coverage without adding extra components, helping you maintain a tidy electrical panel while meeting common safety standards.

Why choose dual-function protection

This single unit offers both AFCI and GFCI protection, which can reduce the number of devices required in a typical installation. By consolidating functions, it can help lower installed cost compared with using separate AFCI and GFCI devices while still delivering comprehensive protection for branch circuits and home runs.

• One device provides both arc-fault and ground-fault protection with a single reset, streamlining panel layout.
• Potential cost savings by replacing two devices with one, while keeping full protection coverage.
• Protects the entire circuit, including home-run runs, from arc-fault and ground-fault events.
• Integral LED indicates seven distinct trip scenarios, aiding quicker fault diagnosis and reducing troubleshooting time.

Real-world use and benefits

In living rooms, kitchens, or bedrooms, this breaker helps maintain safety with fewer parts to manage. Electricians and informed homeowners can rely on straightforward replacement for BR-series panels, with the assurance that both arc-fault and ground-fault conditions are monitored by a single device. While not a guarantee of outcomes, the design supports safer circuit behavior and clearer fault signaling in everyday use.

The compact, single-point reset design means a user can restore power after a trip without juggling multiple devices. The seven-trip-indicator LEDs provide quick visibility into the likely cause of a trip, which can speed up service visits and routine maintenance. This can be particularly helpful in newly updated spaces or in areas with dense wiring where ease of troubleshooting matters.
