The Eaton BRN115AFC is a plug-in, push-in style AFCI breaker from Eaton's BR/BRN series, designed for installation in Eaton BR-type (Type-BR) residential loadcentres and panelboards. As a 1-Pole 120V device with a 10kA interrupt rating, it is suited for standard 15A branch circuits requiring AFCI protection — including bedrooms, living areas, and other locations mandated by the Canadian Electrical Code. Not interchangeable with Eaton CH-series or other manufacturers' panels. Have a different panel? Send us your panel model and we'll confirm compatibility.
The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires AFCI protection on branch circuits supplying receptacles in bedrooms and, in more recent code cycles, in additional living spaces such as living rooms, hallways, and dining areas. The BRN115AFC satisfies these requirements for 15A, 120V circuits — check with your local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) to confirm which rooms require AFCI in your jurisdiction.
The BRN115AFC includes built-in Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) technology, which detects dangerous arcing conditions and trips the breaker before a fire can start. A standard BR115 provides only overload and short-circuit protection. The BRN115AFC also features a push-in neutral wire connection for faster installation, whereas a standard breaker has no neutral connection.
