Eaton BRN250GF GFCI Circuit Breaker 50A 10kAIC 2‑Pole 120/240V Black

Description

Product Overview

The Eaton BRN250GF is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) designed for both residential and light‑commercial electrical panels. Engineered with a 50 amp current rating and a 10 kAIC (kilo‑ampere interrupting capacity) fault rating, this breaker provides a high level of protection against ground‑fault currents that could otherwise cause electric shock or fire hazards. Its two‑pole configuration supports 120/240 V systems, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from kitchen circuits to outdoor outlets. The black‑finished housing not only offers a professional appearance but also adds durability against corrosion and wear. With a compact size of 6.3 × 3.5 × 2.3 inches and a weight of just one pound, the BRN250GF fits easily into standard breaker panels while delivering reliable performance.

Usage

This GFCI breaker is ideal for installations where personal safety is paramount, such as bathrooms, garages, outdoor receptacles, and any location where equipment may be exposed to moisture. Electricians and DIY enthusiasts will appreciate the pigtail neutral design, which simplifies wiring by providing a ready‑to‑connect neutral lead, reducing installation time and potential errors. The breaker’s 10 kAIC rating ensures it can safely interrupt high‑energy fault currents, protecting downstream devices and wiring from damage. Whether you are upgrading an older panel or building a new system, the BRN250GF integrates seamlessly with existing Eaton load centers and other compatible panels, delivering consistent protection across the entire electrical network.

FAQ

What does the 10 kAIC rating mean for my installation?

The 10 kAIC rating indicates the breaker can safely interrupt fault currents up to ten thousand amperes, protecting your wiring and downstream devices from severe overloads and ensuring compliance with safety codes.

Can I install this breaker in a non‑Eaton panel?

Yes, the BRN250GF is compatible with most standard breaker panels that accept two‑pole breakers of the same physical dimensions, but always verify panel specifications before installation.

How does the pigtail neutral improve the wiring process?

The pigtail neutral provides a pre‑attached neutral lead, eliminating the need to splice a separate neutral wire. This reduces installation time, minimizes potential connection errors, and ensures a reliable neutral path for the GFCI function.

Is this breaker suitable for outdoor applications?

While the breaker itself is rated for indoor panel use, it can protect outdoor circuits when installed in a properly rated enclosure, making it an excellent choice for protecting exterior outlets and equipment.

What warranty does Eaton offer for this product?

Eaton provides a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and performance issues, backed by their customer service team to assist with any technical or warranty inquiries.
