FCL34015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

FCL34015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FCL34015 15 Amp circuit breaker delivers high-performance electrical protection built for demanding commercial and industrial environments. This three-pole breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism to safeguard your system against both overloads and short-circuits. With an interrupting capacity of 65 kA at 480 VAC and 100 kA at 240 VAC, the FCL34015 protects critical equipment and infrastructure from fault currents with confidence. The molded-case design keeps the footprint compact while maintaining durability, enabling installation in panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. Operating at standard 60 Hz and rated for environments up to 40 °C, this breaker offers reliable performance where space is limited and safety is non-negotiable.

Key Features and Benefits

• High fault-current capacity: Accepts up to 65 kA at 480 VAC and up to 100 kA at 240 VAC—meaning your system is protected even under severe fault conditions.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Employs both a thermal trip for overloads and a magnetic trip for short-circuits, giving you comprehensive two-fold protection.
• Space-efficient, durable case design: The molded-case construction is built to last while keeping the circuit breaker footprint compact—ideal for tight-space installations.
• Broad application versatility: Works well in industrial enclosures, panelboards, switchboards and motor control centres, making it a flexible choice across many deployment scenarios.
• Reliable under standard conditions: Rated for 60 Hz operation and designed to function effectively in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C—so you can count on it under typical industrial conditions.
