The Eaton BRN115DFC is a 1-pole, 15A, 120V plug-in breaker from Eaton's BRN series, featuring dual-function AFCI/GFCI protection with a push-in wire connector (no separate pigtail). It is designed to fit Eaton BR-type (Type-BR) loadcentres and panelboards, which are among the most common residential panels across Canada. The push-in terminal design simplifies installation — conductors seat directly into the breaker without ring or spade terminals.

The BRN115DFC provides dual-function protection — combining both Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in a single 1-pole breaker. A standard BR breaker offers only overload and short-circuit protection. The BRN series also features a push-in (pigtail-free) wire connector, making installation faster compared to older dual-function models that used a separate neutral pigtail lead.
The CEC (C22.1) has expanded AFCI and GFCI requirements in residential occupancies over successive editions, and many Canadian jurisdictions now mandate dual-function or AFCI protection in bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, and other specified locations. Requirements vary by province and the edition of the CEC adopted locally — we recommend confirming with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) or inspector to determine exactly where a dual-function breaker like the BRN115DFC is required in your installation.
Yes — the BRN115DFC is designed to retrofit into existing Eaton BR-type panels and can replace older pigtail-style AFCI or GFCI breakers of the same amperage. The push-in connector accommodates the neutral conductor directly in the breaker body, eliminating the need to manage a separate white pigtail wire. Always verify your panel is a BR-type loadcentre before replacing, and contact us if you need help confirming the right fit.
