Product Description
Plug-On Branch Feeder Type
Arc Fault Circuit Breakers,
Type BR—10 kAIC, 120 Vac
and 120/240 Vac
A branch feeder type arc fault
circuit interrupter is a device
intended to mitigate high
current arcing faults in the
complete circuit, including
connected cords. High
current arcing faults can
occur from line to neutral or
line to ground. These arcing
faults are in parallel with the
load and produce the most
energy of all arcing faults.
The branch feeder type AFCI
is required in the 1999 and
2002 National Electrical Code.
The
Combination Type AFCI is
required in the 2005, 2008, and
2011 National Electrical Code.
Plug-On Combination Type
Arc Fault Circuit Breakers,
Type BR—10 kAIC, 120 Vac
and 120/240 Vac
A combination type arc
fault circuit interrupter is a
device that includes all of
the protection offered by the
branch feeder AFCI (mitigation
of high current arcing faults in
the complete circuit, including
connected cords). In addition
it provides direct detection of
persistent low current arcing
faults down to 5 amps with
associated mitigation of
fire hazards in the cords
connected to the outlets. High
current arcing faults can occur
from line to neutral or line to
ground. These arcing faults
are in parallel with the load
and produce the most energy
of all arcing faults. The current
level of low current arcing
faults is limited by the load.
Plug-On Ground Fault Circuit
Breakers, Type GFCB and
GFEP—10/22 kAIC, 120 Vac
and 120/240 Vac
Ground Fault
Application Notes
Single-pole GFCBs are
designed for use in two-
wire, 120 Vac circuits. See
Page V1-T1-87 for a typical
wiring configuration.
Two-pole GFCBs are
designed for use in three-
wire, 120/240 Vac circuits,
120 Vac multiwire circuits
employing common, neutral
and two-wire, 240 Vac
circuits obtained from a
120/240 Vac source.
Page V1-T1-87 shows typical
wiring configurations for a
120/240 Vac multiwire
circuits, and a 240 Vac, two-
wire circuit. Note the “panel
neutral” conductor connects
to the neutral bar, even
though the neutral is not
included in the load circuit.
This connection is necessary
to supply a 120 Vac power
source to the ground fault
sensing circuit.
The figures are shown with
a 120/240 Vac, single-phase,
three-wire power source,
but are also applicable to a
120/208 Vac, three-phase,
four-wire power supply.
For all figures, the electrical
operation of the GFCB is
not affected by the
equipment ground.
Non-CTL Plug-On Replacement
—Circuit Breakers, Type BRD—
10 kAIC, 120/240 Vac
Non-CTL 10 kAIC
for Replacement
Purposes Only
For replacement in
enclosures manufactured
prior to 1968 with unnotched
stabs. Circuit breakers do
not have rejection tab.
