QCP15 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

QCP15 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding the right replacement circuit breaker starts with matching the original specifications. The QCP15 is a 15-amp, 2-pole Type QP thermal-magnetic circuit breaker rated for 120/240 VAC with a 10 kA I.C. interrupting capacity. Its Cable-In/Cable-Out configuration makes it suitable for compatible electrical systems that require these exact characteristics.

The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism is designed to respond to two common electrical conditions. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element trips quickly during short-circuit events. Together, they help protect branch circuits and connected equipment during normal operation.

Whether you're maintaining a residential panel, servicing commercial equipment, or replacing a breaker in an existing installation, confirming compatibility is the most important step. The QCP15 is built to last and is intended to provide the proper form, fit, and function for applications that call for a Type QP, 15 Amp, 2-pole breaker.
