EB1015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

EB1015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The EB1015 circuit breaker is a 1-pole, 15-amp thermal-magnetic breaker designed for use in electrical panels that require the EB frame type, commonly found in systems manufactured before 1989. It provides dependable branch-circuit protection by responding to both sustained overloads and sudden short-circuit conditions. Rated for 120VAC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, the EB1015 helps protect wiring and connected equipment while maintaining compatibility with existing EB-series panelboard configurations. This breaker includes factory-installed load terminals, allowing for straightforward conductor connections during installation or replacement. With a 40°C temperature rating and a non-interchangeable trip unit, the breaker maintains the original design configuration expected in compatible equipment. Built with durable internal components, the EB1015 is intended to provide long service life when used in properly maintained electrical systems requiring EB-style protection.

Key Features and Benefits
