Eaton’s BR 25 mm (one-in.) load centres are designed for modern residential construction, renovation and redevelopment. With fast installation, they are configurable either as a main breaker for service entrances or a main lug panel for expanding electrical systems, adaptable to new builds, upgrades and retrofit applications. The main breaker offers full panel protection and acts as a service disconnect, while branch breakers safeguard connected loads such as lighting, appliances and receptacles.
Surge protection and specialty panels
Eaton integrates surge protection to safeguard appliances, electronics, smart systems and connected devices. LED indicators confirm surge protection status, simplifying inspection and maintenance for professionals.
For outdoor and specialty needs, Eaton spa panels reduce installation time and labour costs. These panels meet National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and combine a GFCI and disconnect switch into an easy-to-install device, ensuring reliable protection for spa pumps and hot tubs.
BR circuit breaker portfolio
Eaton’s BR circuit breakers are widely used in load centres and panelboards for residential applications. The portfolio features standard one-in. BR breakers, arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI), helping projects comply with codes and improve reliability. To maximize panel capacity and minimize expensive service upgrades, Eaton provides duplex and quadplex plug-in breakers. Duplex breakers house two single-pole circuits in a single one-in. space, and quadplex breakers offer combinations of single- and two-pole circuits in a compact two-in. case. These space-saving solutions are ideal for high-density housing and renovations, supporting future expansion.
Smart home energy management
Eaton’s AbleEdge home energy management system enables builders and developers to future-proof residences. AbleEdge transforms Eaton BR load centres and metre breakers into modular smart panels, often avoiding main panel upgrades while supporting solar, energy storage and electrification needs. This scalable system delivers an efficient, low-carbon power solution, adding long-term value to residential projects.
