BA115AFCH - 15A AFCI Circuit Breaker

BA115AFCH  - 15A AFCI Circuit Breaker

The BA115AFCH circuit breaker is a 15 amp, 1-pole, bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built with a Combination Type Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI), this breaker helps detect both parallel and series arc faults—reducing the risk of electrical fires caused by damaged wiring, loose connections, or deteriorated insulation. With a 22kA A.I.C. rating at 120/240VAC, the BA115AFCH is engineered to interrupt high fault currents safely, making it a strong choice for applications that demand enhanced circuit protection and code-compliant safety performance. Its bolt-on configuration ensures a secure connection to compatible panelboards, helping maintain system integrity in commercial and residential environments alike.
