BQ2C015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

BQ2C015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BQ2C015 circuit breaker is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the BQ frame platform, this 15-amp breaker provides 10kA A.I.C. interrupting capacity, making it suitable for protecting branch circuits in commercial and industrial panelboards. Its bolt-on mounting style ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection, helping maintain proper contact and alignment within compatible equipment. Rated for use at 40°C, and HACR rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications, the BQ2C015 is designed to meet the functional requirements of existing installations while maintaining consistent protection against overloads and short circuits.

Compact in size yet built to last, this breaker is well-suited for applications where precise low-amp protection is required. Whether replacing an existing BQ frame unit or maintaining a legacy panel configuration, the BQ2C015 supports proper system coordination and code-compliant circuit protection.
