BA115AFC - 15A AFCI Circuit Breaker

BA115AFC  - 15A AFCI Circuit Breaker

The BA115AFC is a 15 amp, 1-pole combination type Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) bolt-on molded case circuit breaker engineered to provide dependable branch circuit protection in 120/240VAC systems. Designed on the BAF2 frame platform, this breaker delivers both standard overcurrent protection and advanced arc-fault detection in a single compact unit. With a 10kA interrupting rating, it helps safeguard electrical systems from short circuits, overloads, and potentially dangerous arc-fault conditions that can lead to electrical fires. Its bolt-on mounting style ensures a secure, stable connection to the panelboard bus, making it a practical choice for commercial and residential applications where safety and code compliance are essential.

Built to meet the demands of modern electrical installations, the BA115AFC supports enhanced circuit protection in spaces where reliability matters—whether you’re upgrading an existing panel or maintaining a facility’s electrical infrastructure. The combination AFCI design detects both parallel and series arc faults, adding an extra layer of protection beyond traditional thermal-magnetic breakers.
