The BR120 is designed for Eaton BR-series (Type-BR) loadcentres and panelboards. These are among the most common residential panels in Canada. It is not compatible with Eaton CH-series panels or any other brand. If you're unsure which series your panel is, send us the panel label or model number and we'll confirm before you order.
In many cases, yes — Eaton's BR-series breakers are the modern successor to legacy Westinghouse and Challenger BR-style panels, and the BR120 is often a direct replacement. However, compatibility depends on the specific panel and bus design. We strongly recommend confirming your panel model with us before purchasing to ensure a safe, code-compliant fit.
Yes. The BR120 carries the appropriate CSA certification for use in Canada and its 10 kA interrupting rating satisfies the fault-current requirements typical of residential services under the CEC. Always verify the available fault current at your panel does not exceed 10 kA — if it does, a higher AIC-rated breaker may be required.
