Cutler-Hammer 15 Amp Single Pole GFCI Circuit Breaker Plug-On Neutral

Description

Product Overview

The Cutler-Hammer BRP115GF is a 15 Amp single‑pole ground‑fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breaker designed for 120/240 V panelboards. Engineered with a plug‑on neutral feature, this breaker eliminates the need for a separate neutral pigtail, reducing wiring complexity and installation time. Constructed from high‑temperature resistant copper and thermoplastic materials, the unit meets UL 489 standards and is fully listed for safety and performance. Its compact dimensions—6.18 × 3.46 × 1.14 inches—allow easy fit into most standard load centers, while the 7.37‑ounce weight ensures robust handling without being overly heavy. The BRP115GF carries the Cutler‑Hammer reputation for durability, offering a reliable solution for both new construction and retrofit projects.

Usage

This GFCI breaker is ideal for protecting outlets, lighting circuits, and equipment in residential kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations where ground‑fault protection is required by code. It also serves commercial applications such as office breakrooms, conference rooms, and small‑scale retail spaces where personnel safety and equipment protection are paramount. The plug‑on neutral design simplifies field installation, allowing electricians to connect the neutral directly to the breaker without additional wiring, which reduces labor costs and potential error points. The breaker’s 15 Amp rating makes it suitable for standard lighting loads and small appliance circuits, while its UL listing assures compliance with NEC requirements for GFCI protection.

FAQ

What does “plug‑on neutral” mean?

Plug‑on neutral means the breaker has a built‑in neutral connection that allows the neutral wire to be attached directly to the breaker without using a separate pigtail. This simplifies wiring, reduces the number of connections, and speeds up installation.

Is this breaker compatible with all panel brands?

The BRP115GF is designed to fit standard 1‑inch busbars found in most major panel brands, including Square D, Eaton, and Siemens. Always verify panel specifications before installation.

Can I use this breaker for a dedicated appliance circuit?

Yes, the 15 Amp rating is suitable for many dedicated appliance circuits such as small kitchen appliances, bathroom fans, and lighting loads, provided the total load does not exceed the breaker’s rating.

How does the GFCI function protect against ground faults?

The GFCI monitors the current balance between hot and neutral conductors. If an imbalance as small as 4‑6 mA is detected, the breaker trips instantly, cutting power to prevent electric shock.

What warranty does Cutler‑Hammer provide?

Cutler‑Hammer offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Technical support is available throughout the warranty period to assist with installation and troubleshooting.
