RC3815 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

RC3815 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The RC3815 is a 2-pole, 15 Amp thermal-magnetic circuit breaker made for your applications that originally used the RC38-15. It is manufactured as a new aftermarket replacement with the same form, fit, and function, allowing it to install in the existing breaker position of compatible panels. This breaker uses a space-saving plug-on design and carries a 10 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 VAC. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism protects against both overloads and short circuits. Its compact size also makes it a good match for panels where space-saving breakers are required. When you're replacing electrical components, compatibility matters as much as the electrical rating. Before installation, confirm that the panel is designed for an RC38-style breaker and that the voltage, amperage, and pole configuration match the original device. Built to last, the RC3815 is designed to maintain existing electrical systems without altering the original panel layout.
