BDA36015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

BDA36015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BDA36015 PowerPacT™ B-Frame Circuit Breaker provides reliable circuit protection for commercial and industrial electrical systems in a compact, space-saving design. Rated at 15 amps with a 3-pole configuration, this thermal-magnetic breaker helps protect your equipment and wiring from overloads and short circuits while supporting stable, everyday operation. Its smaller footprint makes it a practical fit for switchboards, distribution panels, motor control centers, and HVAC equipment where panel space can be limited.

Designed for demanding applications, the BDA36015 features dual-break rotating contacts that help reduce peak current during fault conditions, helping minimize stress on connected components. The built-in push-to-trip button also makes testing and troubleshooting easier during routine maintenance.
