HGA36015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGA36015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a 15-amp breaker for a compatible I-Line distribution system, the HGA36015 PowerPacT H circuit breaker delivers straightforward thermal-magnetic protection in a 3-pole configuration. Inside, dual-break rotating contacts help limit peak current during a short-circuit fault. There’s also an integral push-to-trip button for manually tripping the breaker when needed.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15A, 3-pole configuration – Built for three-pole distribution applications requiring a 15-amp line-rated circuit breaker.
• Thermal-magnetic protection – Provides overload and short-circuit protection without an electronic trip unit.
• I-Line mounting – Features an I-Line line-side connection and mechanical load-side lugs for compatible equipment.
• Dual-break rotating contacts – Designed to reduce peak current during short-circuit conditions.
• Push-to-trip button – Allows the breaker to be manually tripped directly from the unit.
• Wide conductor range – AL150HD terminals accept aluminum or copper conductors from 14 AWG through 3/0 AWG.
• HACR rated – Suitable for qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HGA36015 carries UL, CSA, and NOM certifications and is CE marked. Applicable standards include UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2. Its front cover is rated IP40 according to IEC 60529, and the breaker is classified for Pollution Degree 3 under IEC 60947-1.

For buyers comparing replacement breakers or specifying equipment for a new installation, these certifications provide useful confirmation of the standards to which the HGA36015 has been evaluated. As always, the breaker still needs to match the electrical system, equipment, and applicable code requirements.

Where It Works Best

The HGA36015 makes the most sense in commercial, industrial, and facility distribution systems already designed for compatible I-Line equipment. It's a particularly good match when the application calls for 15A, three-pole thermal-magnetic protection and an 18 kA interrupting capacity at 600VAC.
