NE221015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

NE221015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The NE221015 15 Amp Circuit Breaker is built to provide steady, reliable protection for 120/240VAC electrical systems. This 2-pole breaker helps protect wiring and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits, reducing the risk of damage and downtime. With a 10k AIC rating and a thermal magnetic trip mechanism, it reacts quickly to fault conditions while allowing normal temporary surges to pass without nuisance tripping. Designed with a molded case and bolt-on connection, the NE221015 offers a secure fit inside compatible panelboards and is a practical choice for replacement or maintenance projects.
