Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are the factors to consider while choosing this ground fault circuit breaker?
A. Major factors include its application, amperage rating, circuit type, safety needs, space fit, interrupt rating, compatibility and installation expertise.
Q. What should I do if Eaton BRN120DF circuit breaker trips frequently?
A. Frequent tripping could indicate an underlying issue in the electrical system. It is essential to have a qualified electrician inspect & diagnose the problem to ensure the safety of the circuit.
Q. What is the difference between arc fault and ground fault protection?
A. Arc fault protection is designed to detect abnormal arcing conditions caused by damaged wiring or loose connections, reducing the risk of electrical fires. In contrast, ground fault protection detects imbalances in current flow to unintended paths, such as through a person or water, to prevent electric shocks.
