EF3B015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

EF3B015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're replacing an existing EF3 frame molded case circuit breaker, the EF3B015 is designed to provide the electrical ratings and physical compatibility needed to keep your power distribution system operating as intended. Rated at 15 amps with a 3-pole configuration, this breaker helps protect three-phase electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits in commercial and industrial applications operating at up to 600VAC.

Whether you're performing routine maintenance, replacing a failed breaker, or servicing existing electrical equipment, selecting a breaker with the correct amperage, pole configuration, and interrupting rating is essential. The EF3B015 features an interrupting capacity of 14kA at 600VAC and 480VAC, and 18kA at 240VAC, making it suitable for many legacy electrical distribution systems that require these specifications. Its molded-case construction is built to last, while its compact design helps it fit with compatible panels and switchgear without unnecessary modifications.
