B215AFC - 15A AFCI Circuit Breaker

B215AFC  - 15A AFCI Circuit Breaker

The B215AFC is a 15 amp, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection with advanced arc-fault detection. Built on a BAF frame and rated at 10kA interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC, this combination type Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) breaker helps safeguard branch circuits against both parallel and series arc faults—conditions that standard breakers cannot detect. Ideal for residential and light commercial electrical systems, the B215AFC enhances protection where code compliance and fire prevention are top priorities. Its bolt-on mounting design ensures a secure connection to compatible panelboards, reducing the risk of loose terminations and improving long-term performance.

Whether you’re upgrading an existing panel or replacing a failed breaker, the B215AFC offers the reliability and protection today’s electrical systems demand, all in a compact, easy-to-install form factor.
