BR1530 - Duplex 15/30 Circuit Breaker

BR1530 - Duplex 15/30 Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BR1530 is a tandem circuit breaker that combines one 15 Amp circuit and one 30 Amp circuit in a single one-inch breaker space. Designed for your compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters, it provides a way to add or replace circuits when panel space is limited.

You'll often find this breaker in residential panels, apartments, workshops, offices, and light commercial buildings where a mix of 15 Amp and 30 Amp branch circuits is required. Because it occupies a single breaker position while serving two separate circuits, the BR1530 is frequently used when maintaining an existing panel configuration or adding circuits without increasing panel size.

Like many Eaton BR breakers that remain in service for years, the BR1530 is built to last when installed and used within its intended ratings.
