Q1-315 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q1-315 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in older electrical equipment, the small details matter. The Q1-315 is a 15-amp, 3-pole Type Q1 circuit breaker with a plug-on connection and thermal-magnetic operation. It carries a 10k AIC rating at 240 VAC and requires 6 spaces. Size is another detail you'll want to check: this breaker measures 6.38 inches high, 2.25 inches wide, and 2.31 inches deep. The Q1-315 is a good fit for maintenance and replacement work where the existing equipment was designed around this particular breaker style and rating. As with any replacement breaker, it's worth checking more than the amp rating. Pole count, voltage, interrupting capacity, connection style, dimensions, and the equipment itself all play a part in determining compatibility. For the right application, this is a straightforward, built-to-last breaker that provides the form, fit, and circuit protection function expected from the Q1-315.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• No specific material compliance information or certification details were provided with the available specifications for the Q1-315. If your job calls for a particular listing, certification, or material requirement, check the markings and documentation for the actual breaker before putting it into service. Requirements can depend on the equipment and application, so these details shouldn't be assumed.

Where It Works Best

• The Q1-315 circuit breaker is most useful when you're working on existing or legacy electrical equipment that calls for this Type Q1 configuration. In other words, it's about getting the replacement right—not simply finding another 15 amp breaker.
• Before using the Q1-315 as a replacement, compare it with the breaker being removed and with the equipment's requirements. You'll want to confirm the 15A rating, three-pole, Type Q1 design, plug-on connection, 10k AIC at 240VAC, six-space requirement, and physical dimensions.
• When those specifications match the application, the Q1-315 provides the form, fit, and function needed for compatible equipment. Installation should be handled by qualified electrical personnel and completed in accordance with applicable electrical codes and equipment requirements.
