CA2150 - 150Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2150 molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 150 amp breaker designed for dependable circuit protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame and rated for 40°C operation, this breaker is engineered to provide consistent overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial panelboards where form, fit, and function must align with existing equipment. With a 10k A.I.C. interrupting rating at 120/240VAC and a non-interchangeable trip unit, the CA2150 is well suited for maintaining legacy electrical systems that require a properly matched replacement breaker. Line and load-side lugs are included, helping ensure secure conductor terminations and straightforward installation.

Designed as a molded case circuit breaker for durability and long service life, the CA2150 supports safe power distribution by interrupting overloads and short circuits within its rated capacity. Its 2-pole configuration makes it suitable for applications requiring protection across both phases of a 120/240VAC system. For facility managers, electrical contractors, and maintenance professionals seeking a direct replacement within CA frame assemblies, this breaker delivers the ratings and physical compatibility necessary to keep existing systems operating as intended.
