The Eaton BR340 is a BR-frame plug-in breaker designed to fit Eaton BR and Type-BR loadcentres and panelboards — a widely used panel family in Canadian residential and light-commercial construction. Its 3-pole, 40 A configuration makes it a common choice for sub-feeds, electric ranges, dryers, HVAC equipment, and similar 240 V branch circuits.
Not all BR panelboards have space for a full 3-pole breaker — send us your panel model number and we'll confirm the fit before you order.
In most cases, yes — the BR340 is designed for Eaton BR and Type-BR loadcentres and uses the same plug-in (push-in) bus connection. However, you'll want to verify that your panel has three adjacent slots available for a 3-pole breaker. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility before you order.
Yes. The BR340's 3-pole, 40 A, 240 V rating makes it well suited for larger residential and light-commercial 240 V loads — including electric ranges, central air conditioning units, and sub-panel feeds. For true single-phase 240 V two-wire loads, a 2-pole BR240 may be more appropriate; a 3-pole breaker is typically used when a neutral and two hots plus a ground are needed, or for three-phase applications in commercial panels.
