FC34015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

FC34015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding the right replacement circuit breaker isn't just about choosing a 15 Amp model. Details like the part number, breaker type, frame size, number of poles, voltage rating, interrupt rating (A.I.C.), dimensions, and terminal configuration all need to match the original breaker to ensure it fits and performs as expected.

The FC34015 is a 3-pole Type FC thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed for use in compatible I-Line panelboards. Inside the breaker, the thermal element responds to overloads that develop over time, while the magnetic trip reacts almost instantly to short circuits. Together, they help protect your conductors and connected equipment from common electrical faults during everyday operation.

Material Compliance and Certifications

Before replacing an existing breaker, verify that the part number, breaker type, frame, amperage, pole count, voltage rating, interrupt rating (A.I.C.), dimensions, and terminal configuration all match the original equipment. Taking the time to confirm these details helps ensure the breaker is compatible with the existing electrical system and provides the intended form, fit, and function.

Where It Works Best

The FC34015 is commonly installed in I-Line panelboards serving commercial buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, schools, healthcare facilities, and other three-phase electrical distribution systems. Its 15 Amp rating, Type FC configuration, and high interrupt ratings make it a practical choice for maintenance and repair projects where matching the original breaker is essential.
