R3815 - Duplex 15/15 Circuit Breaker

R3815 - Duplex 15/15 Circuit Breaker

Keep your existing electrical system operating with the R3815 Duplex 15 Amp Circuit Breaker, a new aftermarket replacement engineered for form, fit, and functional compatibility with legacy panels that originally used the R38-15. This space-saving plug-on, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker provides two independent 15 amp circuits within a duplex design, making efficient use of available panel space while helping protect branch circuits from overloads and short circuits. Built to last and designed to install in the original breaker location, this replacement is well suited for maintaining existing electrical distribution systems without modifying the panel. Its 10kA interrupting capacity at 120VAC and dependable thermal-magnetic trip mechanism make it an ideal choice for qualified maintenance, repair, and replacement applications where compatibility with existing equipment is essential.
