Q1-215 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q1-215 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Need to replace a Q1-215 circuit breaker in existing equipment? Start with the ratings and the fit. The Q1-215 is a 15-amp, 2-pole Type Q1 breaker with plug-on construction and thermal-magnetic operation. It is rated 10k A.I.C. at 120/240VAC. Physically, the breaker measures 6.38" high x 1.5" wide x 2.31" deep and takes up four spaces. Those dimensions and the four-space requirement are important when you're checking an older installation. This breaker is intended for equipment designed around the Type Q1 configuration, so matching only the amperage isn't enough. You'll also want to check the poles, voltage, interrupting rating, connection style, dimensions, and available space against those of the breaker being replaced. For the right legacy application, the Q1-215 gives you the form, fit, and function needed to keep existing equipment in service. It's a straightforward breaker built to last when correctly applied and used within its specified ratings.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15-amp rating for applications requiring a 15A breaker.
• 2-pole construction to match compatible two-pole applications.
• Rated 10 kA.I.C. at 120/240VAC.
• Thermal-magnetic operation provides overcurrent protection within the breaker's stated ratings.
• Plug-on design for equipment made to accept this Type Q1 configuration.
• Requires four spaces.
• Clearly defined dimensions make it easier to check the physical fit against an existing breaker.
• Built to last when properly matched, installed, and used within its ratings.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Specific material compliance and certification information isn't included in the available specifications for the Q1-215. If your installation requires a specific certification, listing, or material standard, check the applicable product documentation and equipment requirements rather than assuming compliance based on the part number.

Where It Works Best

• The Q1-215 15-amp circuit breaker is a fit for legacy electrical applications that specifically require a 2-pole Type Q1 plug-on breaker with a 120/240 VAC rating and 10 kA.I.C. interrupting rating.
  
• It's particularly useful when the goal is to maintain the original form, fit, and function of existing equipment. In that situation, the little details count. Check the four-space requirement, dimensions, and electrical ratings.
  
• And don't go by looks alone. Two breakers can appear similar and still have different mounting arrangements or ratings. The safest way to determine suitability is to compare the Q1-215 part number and full specifications with the existing breaker and the requirements of the equipment where it will be installed.
