Eaton BQL15 15A 1-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker Potential Transformer

Meet the Eaton BQL15 — a purpose-built circuit breaker that delivers precise overcurrent protection for 240 V, single‑phase circuits. With a 15 A rating and 1-pole design, this breaker is engineered to accommodate focused protection where reliability matters, including installations that feed metering setups or circuits powered through potential transformers. Built to work with Eaton panels, the BQL15 blends solid performance with straightforward compatibility.

What makes the Eaton BQL15 unique

Eaton BQL15 provides a dependable, compact solution for safeguarding 240 V circuits in both residential and light commercial environments. Its focused 15 A protection helps prevent nuisance trips on normal loads while delivering fast response to short circuits, reducing the risk of electrical damage and fire hazards. The 1-pole configuration simplifies wiring for single‑phase circuits, and the 240 V rating is ideal for typical home and workshop power needs.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 15 A
• Poles: 1
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Model family: Eaton BQL series

Why it’s the right choice

• The 15 A rating is ideal for protecting smaller branch circuits, electrical outlets, and dedicated devices without oversizing protection that could lead to unnecessary trips.
• Suitable for circuits that feed potential transformers or metering components, ensuring stable protection in measurement and monitoring setups.
• Designed to integrate with Eaton load centers and bus systems, offering predictable replacement performance and consistent electrical characteristics over time.
• Built for durability in everyday electrical environments, helping to maintain uninterrupted service for essential circuits in homes and light commercial spaces.

Ideal use cases

• Protection for 240 V single‑phase branch circuits such as certain outlets, heating elements, or dedicated equipment in homes and small workshops.
• Circuits feeding measurement equipment, metering panels, or components powered through potential transformers where reliable protection is critical.
• Retrofits or panel upgrades within Eaton-equipped environments where a straightforward, compatible replacement is preferred.

Installation and care tips

• Verify that your panel is compatible with the BQL15 and that the replacement type matches the original specification.
• Use in circuits where a single‑pole 240 V protective device is appropriate to guard against overloads and short circuits.
• Keep labeling clear to indicate the protected circuit and its 240 V, 15 A rating for future service and maintenance.
