EATON 3BR1224B100R Main Breaker Loadcenter, No Feed-Thru Lugs, Main Circuit Breaker, 100 A, C1R, Aluminum

Eaton 3BR1224B100R main breaker loadcenter is used to safely and efficiently manage electrical power by housing circuit breakers and protecting the electrical system from overloads, short circuits and other faults. It is ideal for utility rooms, basements or electrical closets, where it can easily be accessed for maintenance.

Working Mechanism:

• Eaton 3BR1224B100R main breaker loadcenter operates by receiving electrical power from the utility grid or another source through its main circuit breaker.
• This built-in main breaker serves as the primary disconnect switch, allowing manual control of the power supply. Inside the loadcenter, aluminum bus bars distribute the incoming power to individual circuit breaker slots.
• Users install branch circuit breakers in these slots to protect specific electrical circuits within the building, ensuring safe power distribution.
• If a fault occurs on any branch circuit, such as an overload or short circuit, the corresponding branch circuit breaker will automatically trip to disconnect power, preventing damage and ensuring electrical safety. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to uphold the loadcenter's reliability and safety.

Features:

• Eaton 3BR1224B100R main breaker loadcenter features a high interrupt rating of 10kAIC, ensuring reliable protection against electrical faults.
• It comes with a NEMA 3R outdoor-rated enclosure, providing durability and weather resistance for outdoor installations.
• This main breaker loadcenter offers compatibility with copper / aluminium wires with sizes ranging from #4 to 1/0 AWG.
• It has a non-feed-thru lug design, making it suitable for standalone applications without power pass-through capabilities.
• This main breaker loadcenter offers 12 spaces for circuit breakers, allowing for the connection of multiple electrical circuits within a single enclosure.
• It further features an aluminum bus for efficient and lightweight electrical conductivity.
• This main breaker loadcenter comes with a built-in Type BR main circuit breaker, serving as the primary disconnect for the electrical system.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between a main breaker loadcenter and a main lug loadcenter?

A. A main breaker loadcenter has a built-in main circuit breaker for disconnecting power, while a main lug loadcenter does not have a main breaker and relies on an external disconnect switch.

Q. What are the maintenance requirements for this type of loadcenter?

A. Regular maintenance includes checking connections, inspecting circuit breakers and ensuring proper labeling for circuit identification. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific details.
