Overview
The Eaton BR612L125SP is a main lug loadcenter in the BR series, designed to distribute power to branch circuits in residential and light commercial electrical systems. The main lug is used as a sub-panel to add circuits to existing service. This unit features 125A capacity, single-phase operation, 12-pole design, 12 circuits, 6 spaces, and 120/240V supply with #14–#1 AWG Cu/Al conductor capacity at 60°C or 75°C.
Key Features
- 125 Amp rating — handles moderate to heavy residential and light commercial loads
- 6 spaces / 12 circuits — allows flexibility in branch breaker configuration with double-pole breaker capacity
- Main lug design — enables top or bottom feed wiring for simplified installation and retrofit applications
- 1-inch BR breaker compatibility — works with standard Eaton/Cutler-Hammer plug-on type BR breakers
- NEMA 1 enclosure — metal, aluminum construction rated for indoor surface-mount installation
- 10 kAIC interrupt rating — certified for single-phase three-wire 120/240V service

Typical Applications
Load centers are enclosures designed to house branch circuit breakers and wiring required to distribute power to individual circuits, and are used as sub-panels to add circuits to existing service. The BR612L125SP is commonly deployed in:
- Residential sub-panels and branch distribution
- Light commercial electrical systems (offices, retail, small facilities)
- Equipment control panels and OEM electrical assemblies
- Retrofit and panel upgrades where main service already has overcurrent protection
