FA24015AB - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA24015AB - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Upgrade your electrical protection setup with the FA24015AB circuit breaker from Square D/Schneider Electric. Designed for reliability in a wide variety of settings, this 2‑pole breaker delivers excellent performance at 15 amps and 480 volts, making it a smart choice whether you’re working in a commercial facility, an industrial plant, or a demanding residential environment. Thanks to its thermal‑magnetic trip unit, I‑Line mounting compatibility, and high fault‑current interrupt rating, this breaker offers strong protection with minimal fuss—so you can focus on what you do best, instead of worrying about system downtime.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit: Offers both long‑time and instantaneous protection—guarding your system against overloads and short circuits with precision.
• Breaking capacity code A: The FA24015AB can handle substantial fault currents (18 kA at 480 V, 25 kA at 240 V) so your equipment stays safe under stress.
• I‑Line style plug‑in mounting: Simplifies installation and helps reduce downtime, especially in retrofit or high‑speed maintenance situations.
• Two‑pole, single‑phase configuration (A‑B phase): Fits many panel and load setups common in HVAC, refrigeration and general electrical distribution.
• Compact dimensions: Approximately 6.4″ high × 3″ wide × 4.13″ deep make it a space‑efficient choice when panel real‑estate is limited.
