FD3015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

FD3015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding the correct replacement circuit breaker starts with matching the original electrical specifications. A breaker may fit physically into the equipment, but differences in trip characteristics, interrupting ratings, or pole configuration can create unnecessary complications. The Eaton FD3015 is a 15 Amp, 3-pole Series C molded case circuit breaker built on Eaton's F-frame platform and intended as a form, fit, and function replacement for compatible electrical distribution systems. Equipped with a T186 thermal magnetic trip unit, it helps protect your connected equipment from overloads and short circuits while maintaining the protection scheme originally specified for the installation.
