Feature → Four-pole construction with common trip ensures all poles operate in unison, eliminating partial trips and reducing the risk of energized faults. Business Impact → This leads to faster fault clearance and safer panel operation, minimizing downtime. Application → Ideal for multi-load control panels in manufacturing lines and power distribution cabinets. Feature → Mixed amperage ratings (two single-pole 20 A and two two-pole 15 A) support diverse loads without requiring separate devices. Business Impact → Reduces inventory, simplifies wiring schemes, and improves panel density in compact enclosures. Application → Suitable for machine controls and lighting plus coordination in control cabinets. Feature → 120/240 V rating with a plug-on mounting method enables quick installation in standard 1-inch panels. Business Impact → Speeds up installation, lowers field labor costs, and improves serviceability. Application → Common in industrial distribution blocks and retrofit projects. Feature → Wire size compatibility with #14-4 AWG Cu/Al and a four-pole configuration enhances versatility. Business Impact → Streamlines conductor routing and termination, reducing assembly errors. Application → Fits varied wiring schemes in commercial and light-industrial equipment. Feature → Rejection tab feature supports correct bus connection and tamper-evident alignment. Business Impact → Improves installation accuracy and reduces rework. Application → Beneficial in high-mix assemblies and protected control panels. Feature → UL 489 certification and Federal Specifications W-C375 compliance simplify procurement and regulatory alignment. Business Impact → Accelerates approvals, lowers risk, and ensures consistent quality. Application → Preferred choice for critical control panels and safety-conscious installations.

FAQs
The BRDC215220 uses plug-on mounting designed for 1-inch panels and accepts #14-4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. This combination simplifies installation, reduces wiring complexity, and enables rapid field replacement in control panels and distribution cabinets.
The unit is a four-pole breaker with two single-pole 20 A poles and two two-pole 15 A poles, all on a common trip. This arrangement provides coordinated protection for mixed-load panels operating at 120/240 V, reducing the need for multiple devices.
BRDC215220 is UL 489 listed and aligns with Federal Specifications Classification W-C375. These certifications support regulatory compliance in industrial environments and ease sourcing for approved panel assemblies.
Yes. The 4-pole BRDC215220 provides both single-pole and double-pole functionality with a common trip, making it well-suited for control panels and machine interfaces that require coordinated protection across mixed circuit types.
Key considerations include plug-on mounting in standard 1-inch panels, compatibility with #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors, 120/240 V operation, and the UL 489/W-C375 certifications. These features reduce commissioning time, simplify maintenance, and support reliable, long-term protection in industrial PLC and motor-control panels.
