BJA36015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

BJA36015 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

When your dependable circuit protection is required in a compatible I-Line distribution system, the Schneider Electric PowerPacT BJA36015 is designed to match the application. This 15A, 3-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is used in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems where a compact PowerPacT B-frame breaker with I-Line mounting is specified.

The BJA36015 features an I-Line line-side connection, mechanical load-side lugs, and an ABC phase connection. Dual-break rotating contacts help you limit peak current during short-circuit conditions, while the built-in push-to-trip button allows for convenient manual testing during routine maintenance. With interrupting ratings up to 100kA at 240VAC and 25kA at 600Y/347VAC, this breaker is suitable for a wide range of distribution applications. It also supports auxiliary switches, alarm switches, and voltage release accessories for additional functionality when required. Built to last, the PowerPacT BJA36015 remains a practical choice for electrical systems requiring a 15A, 3-pole I-Line circuit breaker.
