Eaton BR270 Double Pole Circuit Breaker 70A 120/240V

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION BR270 is a 70-amp, double-pole interchangeable circuit breaker rated for 120/240 volts. It is designed for use in residential and light commercial load centers where branch circuit overcurrent protection is required. At 2 inches wide and fullsize construction, this breaker fits standard BR-series panelboards. Licensed electricians install this breaker during panel upgrades, service replacements, and new construction rough-in work. The double-pole configuration handles 240-volt loads such as water heaters, dryers, HVAC disconnect circuits, and similar two-leg branch circuits.

This breaker is suited for residential service panels and light commercial distribution boards requiring a fullsize, double-pole overcurrent device.
