BE215 - 15Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE215   - 15Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE215 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 15-amp, bolt-on thermal magnetic breaker designed for dependable branch circuit protection in compatible BLE frame panelboards and distribution equipment. Rated at 10k A.I.C. at 115VAC, this breaker is built to provide both overcurrent protection and 30mA Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP), helping safeguard electrical systems from damage caused by ground faults. Its bolt-on mounting style offers secure installation in panelboards designed for BLE frame breakers, making it a practical form, fit, and function replacement in existing systems. Built to last and engineered for consistent operation, the BE215 is well-suited for maintaining and servicing legacy electrical distribution setups where compatibility and correct ratings are critical.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15 Amp, 2-Pole Configuration – Designed for protecting 115VAC circuits requiring dual-pole interruption.
• 10kA Interrupting Capacity @ 115VAC – Suitable for applications where available fault current does not exceed 10,000 amps.
• 30mA Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) – Helps reduce equipment damage by detecting ground fault conditions at 30 milliamps.
• Thermal Magnetic Trip Mechanism – Combines inverse-time overload protection (thermal) with instantaneous short-circuit protection (magnetic).
• Bolt-On Mounting Design – Provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection within compatible BLE frame panelboards.
• Form, Fit, and Function Replacement – Intended for use in existing systems requiring a BE215 or compatible BLE frame breaker.
• Built to Last – Constructed for long-term service in properly maintained electrical distribution systems.
