FY14015C - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

FY14015C - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re looking for dependable over-current protection in a compact package, the FY14015C single-pole circuit breaker by Schneider Electric delivers just that. Engineered for installations where space is tight but safety cannot be compromised, this breaker features thermal-magnetic trip technology to automatically respond to overloads and short-circuit conditions. With a line-current rating of 15 A and a voltage rating of 277 V, the FY14015C integrates seamlessly into commercial, industrial or residential panelboards that utilize I-Line mounting systems. The plug-in I-Line format makes installation quick and straightforward, reducing downtime and labour costs. Whether you’re upgrading an existing distribution board or building a new electrical installation, this breaker offers reliable performance with lasting quality.

Key Features & Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines a bimetallic element for overload protection with an electromagnet for fast short-circuit response—giving you versatile, effective protection.
• Single-pole (1P) design: Ideal for branch circuits requiring compact, single-phase over-current protection without wasting panel space.
• Rated at 15 Amps and 277 Volts: Suitable for a broad range of applications where mid-level current protection is required, particularly in lighting or receptacle circuits.
• I-Line plug-in mounting: Simplifies installation into compatible panelboards, reducing installer time and ensuring secure connection.
• Built for durability: Manufactured by Schneider Electric, this breaker uses quality materials and construction to continue performing under demanding conditions.
