QBHGFT1015 - 15 Amp, GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

QBHGFT1015 - 15 Amp, GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a circuit breaker, the small details matter. The QBHGFT1015 is a 15-amp, single-pole GFCI circuit breaker designed for compatible equipment that uses a bolt-on connection. It's a QBHGF-type thermal-magnetic breaker with 5 mA ground-fault protection and an interrupting rating of 22 kA at 120/240 VAC. In practical terms, this breaker combines several types of protection into a single compact unit. The thermal magnetic mechanism responds to overloads and short circuits, while the GFCI function monitors for ground-fault current. Its bolt-on design also provides the secure connection required by equipment built for this mounting style. Measuring 3.19 inches high, 1 inch wide, and 3 inches deep, the QBHGFT1015 is compact, but don't judge compatibility by size or appearance alone. If you're replacing an existing breaker, carefully compare the part number and electrical ratings to ensure this is the right match for your application.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15A, single-pole design for compatible circuits requiring these electrical characteristics.
• 5mA GFCI protection adds ground-fault detection alongside standard circuit protection.
• Thermal-magnetic operation responds to both overload and short-circuit conditions.
• 22kA A.I.C. at 120/240 VAC provides the specified level of fault-current interruption.
• Bolt-on mounting creates a secure connection in equipment designed for QBHGF breakers.
• At only 1 inch wide, the breaker provides multiple protection functions without taking up unnecessary space.
• Clearly identified as part number QBHGFT1015, making it easier to compare with the breaker you're replacing.
