Bryant 9801 BR Series 1-Pole 15A 120/277V AC Switch

The Bryant 9801 is a BR Series 1-pole AC switch rated 15A at 120/277V, engineered for dependable on/off control of lighting fixtures and general-use electrical loads. As part of Bryant's BR line of AC switches, the 9801 delivers straightforward single-pole switching for standard branch circuits in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Its 120/277V AC rating allows it to serve both standard 120V residential circuits and 277V commercial lighting circuits from a single device, while the 15A rating supports typical lighting and general-purpose loads. Electricians and facility teams specify the 9801 when they need a reliable, code-ready single-pole switch for everyday wiring projects.

Key Features

  • Single-Pole (1P) Switching: Configured as a 1-pole switch for straightforward on/off control of a single circuit, fixture, or load.
  • 15A Current Rating: Rated for 15A, suitable for standard lighting circuits and general-purpose switching applications.
  • 120/277V AC Rating: Dual voltage rating of 120/277V AC lets a single device serve both standard residential/commercial 120V circuits and higher-voltage 277V commercial lighting circuits.
  • AC-Only Design: Purpose-built as an AC switch for alternating current circuits, matching the electrical characteristics of standard lighting and load-switching applications.
  • BR Series Construction: Part of Bryant's BR series switch line, built for consistent, repeatable operation across installations.
  • Toggle-Style Operation: Standard toggle actuation for simple, familiar on/off control at the point of use.
  • Commercial-Grade Durability: Designed to hold up under the switching cycles typical of everyday residential, commercial, and industrial use.

Bryant 9801 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Bryant 9801 switch be used on a 277V commercial lighting circuit?
Yes. The Bryant 9801 carries a 120/277V AC rating, so the same device works on standard 120V branch circuits and on 277V commercial lighting circuits. That dual rating is why facility teams can stock one switch for both residential-style 120V loads and 277V fluorescent or LED lighting runs.
2) Is the Bryant 9801 a single-pole or 3-way switch?
Single pole. The 9801 is a 1-pole toggle, meaning simple on/off control of one circuit or fixture from one location. If you need two switch locations controlling the same light, a 1-pole device will not do it and you need a 3-way. A Pass & Seymour 2623W is a 3-way decorator paddle rated 20A 120V/277V if the opening calls for two-location control.
3) Will a 15A switch handle my lighting circuit, or do I need a 20A device?
The 9801 is rated 15A, which covers standard 15A lighting and general-purpose branch circuits. If the circuit is protected at 20A and the code authority wants the switch rated to the circuit, step up to a 20A device such as the Pass & Seymour 2623W, rated 20A at 120V/277V.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Bryant 9801 single-pole toggle switch from another brand?
The Pass & Seymour CS15AC3W is the nearest match in form and function: a commercial specification grade toggle switch, which matches the Bryant 9801's toggle-style actuation and 15A rating. The Bryant 9801 is a 1-pole switch rated 15A at 120/277V, so confirm the pole configuration you need before swapping, and note the CS15AC3W is supplied in white.
5) Can I use a Bussmann TPHCS-250 in place of the Bryant 9801 switch?
No - those are different classes of device. The Bussmann TPHCS-250 is a TPH Series high-current switch rated 80 Vdc with a 100kA SCCR, a DC power-circuit device. The Bryant 9801 is an AC-only wiring device rated 15A at 120/277V for on/off control of lighting and general-use loads from a standard wall box. Use the 9801 for branch-circuit lighting control and the TPHCS-250 only where a DC high-current switch is specified.
6) If my drawing calls for a 20A switch, is the Bryant 9801 acceptable?
The Bryant 9801 is rated 15A, so it will not satisfy a 20A specification. For a 20A device, the Pass & Seymour 2623W is a specification grade switch rated 20A at 120V/277V, though it is a 3-way decorator paddle rather than a 1-pole toggle - verify the switching configuration on the drawing as well as the amperage.
7) Is the Bryant 9801 rated for DC circuits or just AC?
AC only. The 9801 is built as an AC switch for alternating current lighting and load switching. For DC switching you need a different class of device entirely, such as the Bussmann TPHCS-250, an 80 Vdc high-current switch with 100kA SCCR.
8) What is the exact part number to order the Bryant BR Series 1-pole switch?
Order Bryant model 9801. It is part of Bryant's BR series of AC switches, 1-pole, 15A, 120/277V. That single model number is the whole device; there are no handing or configuration suffixes to specify.
9) Do I need to buy a wall plate separately for the Bryant 9801?
Yes. The 9801 is the switch body only, a standard toggle device, so the cover plate is a separate line item. It takes a standard single-gang toggle opening plate, which lets you match whatever plate line is already running through the building.
10) I need a toggle switch, not a paddle. Which of these is which?
The Bryant 9801 is a toggle. So is the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3W in white and the CS15AC3I in ivory, both commercial specification grade. If you want the flat rocker look instead, the Pass & Seymour TM TradeMaster 15A and the 2623W are decorator style. Mixing toggle and decorator on adjacent gangs looks wrong, so pick one style per run of openings.
11) Can I standardize on one switch across 120V apartment units and 277V corridor lighting?
Yes, and that is the practical reason to spec the 9801. Its 120/277V AC rating means one 1-pole, 15A part number covers in-unit lighting on 120V and common-area or corridor lighting fed at 277V. For property managers and MRO buyers, that cuts the switch SKU count on the shelf to one for all single-location on/off control.
12) I need the same switch in ivory instead of white - what should I order?
For an ivory device in the same class, the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3I is a commercial specification grade switch supplied in ivory. It sits alongside the white CS15AC3W in the same commercial specification grade toggle family, so a facility standardizing on two trim colors can pull both from one series while the Bryant 9801 covers the 1-pole 15A 120/277V requirement itself.
13) Is there a decorator-style alternative to the Bryant 9801 toggle switch for a job with flat paddle trim?
Yes. The Pass & Seymour TM TradeMaster is a 15A decorator switch, matching the 9801's 15A rating while using decorator styling rather than the Bryant 9801's standard toggle actuation. Decorator devices require a decorator (rectangular opening) wallplate, so plan plate ordering accordingly if you are mixing the two on one job.
14) Is the Bryant 9801 a dimmer or an occupancy sensor?
Neither. It is a straight mechanical on/off toggle for a single circuit. There is no dimming, no timer, and no sensing. If the fixture needs level control you want a dimmer matched to the ballast or LED driver, not this switch.
