ED42B015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

ED42B015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

If you need a dependable way to protect your electrical system, the Siemens ED42B015 is a solid, no-nonsense option. This 15 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker is built for use in commercial and industrial settings and fits directly into existing Siemens ED-frame setups. That means you can replace an older breaker without modifying your panel or second-guessing compatibility.

Installation is straightforward. The included load-side lugs accept 14–10 AWG copper or 12–10 AWG aluminum conductors, making it easy to connect in typical applications. Whether you're replacing a failed unit or maintaining an existing system, this breaker helps keep your setup consistent and reliable.
