EGB24015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

EGB24015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Protect your lighting panelboards and low‑voltage systems with the Schneider Electric EGB24015. This 15‑amp, two‑pole miniature circuit breaker delivers dependable overload and short‑circuit protection, offering peace of mind in both commercial and industrial environments. Designed for easy bolt‑on installation in NF‑style panelboards, the EGB24015 handles up to 480Y/277 VAC with a high interrupt capacity — making it ideal for lighting, general power circuits, and equipment protection. Whether you're wiring a new system or upgrading an existing panel, this breaker offers reliable protection in a compact footprint with clear trip indication and compatibility with aluminum or copper conductors.

Key Features and Benefits

• Strong fault protection: With a maximum interrupt rating of 65 kA, the EGB24015 is built to handle high fault currents safely, guarding circuits against damaging overloads and short circuits.
• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit: This dual‑mechanism trip unit protects against both sustained overloads (thermal) and sudden short circuits (magnetic), offering comprehensive circuit safety.
• Bolt‑on mounting for easy installation: The breaker installs directly into NF‑style panelboards with bolt-on mounting, simplifying wiring projects and ensuring a secure, stable connection.
• Compact, space-saving design: Measuring just 5.66″ H × 1.96″ W × 4.05″ D, it conserves panel space while still delivering full protective functionality.
• Trip indicator included: Built-in trip status indicator helps technicians quickly identify and respond to tripped circuits, improving maintenance efficiency.
