FY14015B - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

FY14015B - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

This 15-amp, single-pole circuit breaker from Schneider Electric (model FY14015B) delivers dependable circuit protection for both commercial and light industrial applications. Engineered with thermal-magnetic trip technology, it safeguards your electrical system against overloads or short-circuit events with precision and reliability. With a high interrupting rating and plug-in I-Line format, this breaker offers both performance and ease of installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: designed for fast response to overload and fault conditions, which helps ensure the safety and continuity of your electrical system.
• 18 kA (or approximately 14 kA depending on source) interrupting capacity at 480Y/277 VAC: meaning this breaker can manage significant fault currents without failing.
• Plug-in I-Line mounting mode and lug-style load connections: installation is streamlined for service technicians, reducing labor time and complexity.
• Single-pole, 15 amp rating: ideal for protecting branch circuits where moderate current is required, while maintaining compatibility with existing Schneider Electric I-Line panelboards.
