BW2150 - 150Amp Circuit Breaker

BW2150 - 150Amp Circuit Breaker

The BW2150 is a 150 Amp, two-pole main circuit breaker built for residential electrical systems that require reliable service entrance protection. Installed as the primary disconnect in compatible equipment, it helps you protect the electrical system from overloads and short circuits while allowing power to be safely disconnected when needed.

In many homes, the main breaker is one of the hardest-working components in the panel. That's why selecting the correct replacement matters. The BW2150 combines a two-pole configuration with a 240VAC rating and a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of residential service applications. Whether you're replacing an existing breaker during maintenance or updating equipment as part of a service upgrade, matching the breaker's amperage, type, and electrical ratings is essential for proper operation.
