CE3015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

CE3015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CE3015 circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 15-amp thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed for reliable branch circuit protection in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. Built on the CE frame platform, this breaker delivers consistent overcurrent protection with a non-interchangeable trip unit, helping maintain proper coordination within existing panelboards and switchgear. Rated at 14kA at 480VAC and 18kA at 240VAC, the CE3015 is well-suited for systems requiring dependable interruption capacity under fault conditions. Designed for operation in environments up to 40°C, this breaker includes load terminals for straightforward installation and secure conductor termination.

For facilities maintaining or servicing established electrical systems, the CE3015 provides the proper form, fit, and function required for compatible CE frame applications. These breakers are built to last and are intended to deliver consistent protection in line with their original design specifications.
