FA24015BC **Old Style** - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA24015BC **Old Style** - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Meet the FA24015BC from Square D (by Schneider Electric) — a dependable, high-performance circuit breaker designed to protect your electrical system with precision. Rated for 15 amps at 480 V in a 2-pole configuration, this I-Line® style plug-in breaker is engineered for installations where space is tight and reliability matters. Whether you’re upgrading panels in a commercial facility or bringing industrial gear online, this breaker delivers consistent defense against overloads and short-circuit events with its thermal-magnetic trip unit and strong interrupting capacity. It’s crafted for professionals who demand serious protection without complicating the install.

Key Features & Benefits

• Durable Construction: Built to last under tough conditions, this breaker offers long-term reliability so you won’t be swapping units out prematurely.
• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit: Combines a slow thermal response for overloads with a rapid magnetic response for short circuits — giving you smart protection that reacts when needed and stays calm when it should.
• High Interrupting Capacity: With an interrupting rating of 18 kA @ 480 V (also 25 kA @ 240 V) this breaker can withstand serious fault conditions and help keep your system safe and stable.
• I-Line® Mounting: Plug-in style installation makes panel integration faster and cleaner — ideal for retrofits or when you’re optimizing space in a switchboard.
