Eaton BRN220GF - GFCI Circuit Breaker, 20A 2-Pole 120/240V, Pigtail Neutral, Type BR, 10 kAIC - New

The Eaton BRN220GF is a 20-amp 2-pole 120/240V GFCI circuit breaker engineered for ground fault personnel protection in Eaton Type BR loadcenters, spa panels, meter breakers, and sub panels. It delivers 5 mA trip sensitivity per UL 943 Class A, a 10 kAIC interrupting rating, and a pigtail neutral connection for straightforward installation. Common applications include spa and hot tub circuits, pool equipment, well pumps, air conditioners, and outdoor 240V receptacles and equipment where two-pole GFCI protection is required. It is commonly used to replace the older Eaton/Cutler-Hammer GFTCB220 in Type BR panels.

Eaton BRN220GF - Key Features & Benefits

• 2-Pole 120/240V GFCI Protection: Provides ground fault and overcurrent protection on both poles — ideal for spa panels, hot tubs, pool equipment, well pumps, and outdoor 240V loads where GFCI protection is required by the NEC
• 5 mA Trip Sensitivity (UL 943 Class A): Trips at the 5 milliamp personnel protection threshold to guard against electric shock when leakage current is detected to ground
• 10 kAIC Interrupt Rating: Rated to safely interrupt up to 10,000 amps of short-circuit current at 120/240V — suitable for typical residential and light commercial service panels
• Pigtail Neutral Design: Includes a white neutral pigtail that lands on the panel neutral bar — required for the GFCI sensing circuit. Commonly used to replace the older GFTCB220
• Wide #14-4 AWG Wire Range: Accepts copper or aluminum conductors from #14 through #4 AWG, covering the full range of 20A branch circuit and feeder wiring
• Type BR Plug-On Mounting: Designed to install in Eaton (Cutler-Hammer) Type BR loadcenters, spa panels, meter breakers, and sub panels — no special tools or hardware required. Confirm BR compatibility against your panel's labeling before installation
• UL 489 & UL 943 Listed: Tested and listed to the UL 489 standard for branch circuit breakers and UL 943 standard for ground fault circuit interrupters for code-compliant installation

Eaton BRN220GF - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Which load centers is this breaker compatible with?
  The BRN220GF is a Type BR plug-on breaker designed for Eaton/Cutler-Hammer BR loadcenters, spa panels, meter breakers, and sub panels. It is NOT compatible with Eaton CH series, Square D QO or Homeline, Siemens, GE, or any non-BR panels. Always verify the breaker type marked on your panel label before purchasing.
• What is the difference between BRN220GF and BRN220GFCS?
  Both are 20A 2-Pole 120/240V pigtail-neutral GFCI breakers in the BR family. The BRN220GFCS is the clamshell retail-packaged version (typically sold at Home Depot and Lowes); the BRN220GF is the standard pack version listed here. Confirm the exact part number on your existing breaker if matching a specific installation.
• Does the neutral pigtail always need to be connected?
  Yes — the white neutral pigtail must be landed on the panel's neutral bar for the GFCI to operate, even when the protected load itself is 240V with no load neutral. The pigtail provides the reference the ground-fault sensing circuit needs; follow Eaton's installation instructions and have a licensed electrician confirm the wiring.
