BA115AFCHH - 15A AFCI Circuit Breaker

BA115AFCHH  - 15A AFCI Circuit Breaker

The BA115AFCHH circuit breaker is a 20 amp, single-pole, bolt-on molded case circuit breaker engineered to deliver advanced arc-fault protection in 120/240VAC electrical systems. Designed as a Combination Type Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI), this breaker helps detect and mitigate both parallel and series arc faults—reducing the risk of electrical fires caused by damaged wiring, loose connections, or insulation breakdown. With an impressive 65kA interrupting capacity, the BA115AFCHH is built for high fault current environments where safety, code compliance, and system integrity are critical. Its bolt-on mounting configuration ensures a secure, stable connection to compatible panelboards, making it a dependable solution for residential and commercial branch circuit protection.
