The Eaton BR220 2‑Pole 20 Amp circuit breaker is a dependable thermal‑magnetic breaker designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial electrical systems. Manufactured by Eaton Corporation, this breaker is engineered specifically for use in Eaton Type BR load centers and panelboards, helping protect wiring and connected equipment from damage caused by overloads and short circuits.

As part of Eaton’s trusted BR breaker family, the BR220 delivers consistent tripping performance, durable construction, and easy installation. The 2‑pole configuration allows for simultaneous disconnection of both ungrounded conductors, making it suitable for 240‑volt applications or multi‑wire branch circuits where common disconnect is required. Its plug‑on design ensures a secure, reliable connection while simplifying installation and replacement.

The Eaton BR220 breaker is commonly used for small 240‑volt loads, shared neutral circuits, and general branch circuit protection. It is a practical choice for electricians, contractors, and maintenance professionals seeking a code‑compliant breaker backed by Eaton’s long‑standing reputation in electrical distribution and circuit protection technologies.
