Q315 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

Q315 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The Q315 circuit breaker is a 15-amp, 3-pole, Type QP plug-in circuit breaker designed for your compatible electrical distribution applications requiring dependable three-pole circuit protection. Rated for an A.I.C. of 10kA at 240VAC, the Q315 combines a compact plug-in configuration with clearly defined electrical ratings, making it a practical choice for replacement, maintenance, and electrical system applications that require these specifications. Its three-pole design allows simultaneous protection across three connected poles, while the plug-in construction is intended for use with compatible equipment designed for Type QP breakers. The Q315 is also HACR-rated and carries a 40°C rating, important specifications to consider when matching a circuit breaker to the requirements of an existing electrical system. Measuring approximately 2.88 inches high, 3.0 inches wide, and 2.56 inches deep, this breaker offers a compact footprint for installation in compatible panels. When you're replacing an existing breaker, always verify the part number, breaker type, amperage, pole count, voltage, interrupting rating, physical dimensions, and equipment compatibility before installation.

Key Features and Benefits

Where It Works Best

• The Q315 15A 3-pole Type QP circuit breaker is best suited to compatible electrical panels and distribution equipment designed for its QP plug-in configuration and electrical ratings. It can be particularly useful for maintenance and replacement situations where the existing application calls for a Q315, 15-amp, three-pole breaker with a 10 kA rating at 240 VAC. Because circuit breakers are safety-critical electrical components, matching the part number alone is not enough. Confirm the required breaker type, number of poles, amperage, voltage, interrupting capacity, connection style, physical fit, and equipment compatibility before installation. Installation and application should follow applicable electrical codes, equipment requirements, and qualified electrical practices.
