The 15 A amperage rating targets small to mid-size branch circuits with precise protection, delivering a clear business impact by reducing nuisance trips and protecting wiring without overengineering the panel. This translates to fewer maintenance calls and improved uptime in manufacturing lines and lighting circuits. The 42 kAIC interrupt rating is a strong line of defense against high fault currents, enabling faster fault clearance and safeguarding downstream devices, which lowers the risk of cascade failures in distribution panels. With 120/240 V operation, the breaker is compatible with standard North American electrical systems, allowing rapid, error-free installation in existing panels. The thermal-magnetic trip type (T268) balances fast short-circuit clearing with clean, controlled temperature-based protection, reducing wear on contacts and extending component life. The plug-on mounting and single-pole design simplify retrofits and new installs alike, saving mounting space and enabling quicker panel layouts. The non-interchangeable construction ensures that the protective characteristics remain consistent across fleets, simplifying maintenance planning. A compact 4.2 in length, 3.4 in height, and 3.8 in width footprint with a modest 0.25 lb weight supports dense panel routing and easier handling during installation, while the 1-year warranty provides business assurance and predictable total cost of ownership. Certifications including UL Listed and CSA Certified, along with HACR rating, help ensure compliance with safety and energy-management requirements in commercial and industrial environments.
