Eaton BAB1015S - 15 A, 120 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton BAB1015S—a rugged, dependable 15A, 120V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to safeguard your panelboards and load centers from overcurrent and short-circuit events. Built for real-world installations, it delivers stable protection where it matters most, day in and day out.

Why the BAB1015S stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting: A rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays put through the nods and knocks of everyday operation, reducing the risk of loose connections and arcing over time.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines precise overload protection with fast short-circuit response. The thermal element handles gradual overcurrent, while the magnetic element kicks in for rapid disconnection during faults, delivering repeatable protection performance.
• Two-pole protection: Simultaneously disconnects both conductors, providing enhanced safety and coordinated protection for practical branch circuit layouts common in homes and small commercial spaces.
• OEM-compatible design: Engineered to work with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring a reliable fit and consistent electrical coordination within your existing system.
• Versatile application: Ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments where dependable branch circuit protection is essential.

Practical guidance for installers and owners

For best results, pair the BAB1015S with matching OEM load centers and panelboards designed for bolt-on molded case breakers. Its 2-pole construction is a prudent choice when simultaneous disconnection of both conductors improves safety and fault clearance in your distribution setup. When diagnosing protection needs, consider the balance between a 15A rating and the typical load profile of the circuits you’re protecting to ensure consistent, safe operation.

Trust Eaton to deliver a purpose-built solution for branch circuit protection that combines robust mechanical mounting with precise, reliable electrical protection. The BAB1015S is ready to safeguard your electrical distribution with the clarity and durability you expect from a trusted industry name.
