BR1515

The Eaton BR1515 is a tandem (duplex) 1‑inch thermal‑magnetic circuit breaker in Eaton’s BR family, engineered to provide two separate 15 amp circuits within the footprint of a single standard breaker space. This space‑saving design allows electricians and panel designers to add branch circuits without increasing panel footprint, making it particularly useful in residential and light commercial load centers where space is limited. Being part of the Type BR family, the BR1515 is compatible with Eaton BR and BR‑II load centers, offering reliable overcurrent protection while maintaining fit and performance with legacy panels.

Electrically, the BR1515 delivers 15 amps per independent circuit with a thermal‑magnetic trip mechanism that combines heat‑sensitive overload protection and magnetic instantaneous response to clear short‑circuit faults. It is UL 489 listed and typically rated for a {aic rating} interrupting capacity. The duplex breaker includes internal segregation of its two circuits while sharing a common molded case, allowing each side to trip independently as required by load conditions—ideal for load expansions or remodels where additional protected circuits are needed but panel spaces are at a premium.

Mechanically, the BR1515 features Eaton’s robust molded‑case construction and a plug‑on mounting design that seats directly onto panelboard bussing without additional hardware. The breaker accepts standard conductor sizes (e.g., #14–#4 AWG copper or aluminum), and the twin toggle actuators provide straightforward ON/OFF control as well as visible trip indication. Its compatibility with Eaton’s BR system and wide availability make the BR1515 a practical choice for retrofit or upgrade projects, helping contractors and maintenance teams meet modern electrical load demands while maintaining code‑compliant protection and safe operation in residential or light commercial installations.
