Cutler Hammer 15 Amp Circuit Breaker AFCI GFCI Dual Function BRP115DF

Description

Product Overview

The Cutler Hammer BRP115DF is a 15 Amp, single‑pole, combination circuit breaker engineered to provide both arc‑fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) and ground‑fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection in one compact unit. Constructed from high‑grade copper and reinforced polymer housing, the breaker meets UL 489 standards and is listed for use in residential load centers that require plug‑on neutral capability. Its 120‑Volt rating, 6.1 × 3.54 × 1.14‑inch footprint, and 6.7‑ounce weight make it a space‑efficient solution for modern panel boards. The device features a clear labeling system, a sturdy toggle lever for easy manual reset, and a built‑in test button that allows quick verification of both AFCI and GFCI functions without removing the breaker from the panel.

Designed for wall‑mount installation, the BRP115DF integrates seamlessly with standard breaker panels, offering a reliable safety net against electrical fires caused by arc faults and dangerous ground leaks. The plug‑on neutral design eliminates the need for separate neutral pigtails, reducing wiring complexity and installation time while maintaining a clean, organized panel interior. This model carries the Cutler‑Hammer brand reputation for durability and performance, backed by a UL listing that assures compliance with the most stringent electrical safety codes.

Usage

Ideal for new construction homes, remodel projects, and upgrades to existing electrical systems, the BRP115DF provides comprehensive protection for lighting circuits, kitchen appliance circuits, and dedicated outlets in bedrooms and living areas. Electricians and DIY‑savvy homeowners can install the breaker in any compatible load center that supports plug‑on neutral, making it a versatile choice for both new panel installations and retrofits. Its dual‑function capability means a single breaker can replace two separate devices, freeing up panel space and simplifying future troubleshooting.

In environments where code compliance demands both AFCI and GFCI protection—such as bedrooms, kitchens, and home offices—this breaker ensures that any arc‑fault or ground‑fault event is detected and interrupted before it can cause damage or injury. The breaker’s test button allows users to verify proper operation on a regular schedule, providing peace of mind that the protective functions remain active. Its robust construction also tolerates the temperature variations and mechanical stresses typical of residential panels, delivering reliable performance year after year.

FAQ

What is the difference between AFCI and GFCI protection?

AFCI (Arc‑Fault Circuit Interrupter) detects dangerous arcing conditions that can cause electrical fires, while GFCI (Ground‑Fault Circuit Interrupter) monitors leakage currents to ground that could lead to electric shock. The BRP115DF combines both functions, offering comprehensive safety in one device.

Can this breaker be used in panels without a neutral bus?

No. The plug‑on neutral feature requires a neutral bus bar in the panel to connect the neutral conductor directly to the breaker. Panels lacking a neutral bus are not compatible with this model.

How do I test the AFCI/GFCI functions?

Press the built‑in test button on the breaker. The button initiates a simulated fault, causing the breaker to trip if both AFCI and GFCI functions are operating correctly. After testing, reset the breaker by moving the toggle lever to the “ON” position.

Is this breaker suitable for commercial applications?

The BRP115DF is rated for residential use and complies with UL 489 for residential load centers. For commercial installations, a breaker specifically rated for commercial use should be selected.
