Eaton Cutler-Hammer BRH270 Circuit Breaker Type BR

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer BRH270 is a 2-pole, 70-amp circuit breaker, model BRH270 in the Type BR series. This BR-type breaker interrupts current on both hot conductors to protect circuits from overloads and short circuits, helping prevent electrical damage and fire hazards caused by overcurrent conditions. The two-pole design provides simultaneous disconnection of both poles, a safety feature for multi-wire branch circuits and shared neutrals. Manufactured by Eaton Cutler-Hammer, the BRH270 reflects the BR family’s approach to overcurrent protection. With a 70-amp rating, this unit is intended for circuits where higher-current protection is required, aligning with typical applications that use Type BR devices. The part number BRH270 identifies its exact configuration within Eaton’s BR product line, making it a direct specification match for installations that call for a BR-type, two-pole, 70-amp breaker. In summary, the BRH270 delivers essential overcurrent protection in a two-pole package, suitable for applications that require interruption of both hot legs at up to 70 amps.
