BRHT - Handle Tie

A Handle Tie is an essential component used in electrical systems to connect two circuit breakers together, ensuring they operate in tandem. Typically used in multi-pole configurations, the handle tie ensures that both breakers trip simultaneously in the event of an overload or short circuit. This provides enhanced safety by preventing one breaker from being turned on while the other is off, thus maintaining the integrity and reliability of the electrical system. Handle ties are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, particularly when two breakers are needed for a single multi-phase load.
