Eaton BW2150 - 150 A, 1 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton BW2150 is a 150 A, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built for environments where vibration and movement are common, this unit features a secure bolt-on mounting that creates a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection, helping maintain consistent protection over time.

• Secure bolt-on mounting: A robust connection to the bus minimizes loosening and related nuisance trips, even in demanding service conditions.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines precise thermal overload protection with instantaneous magnetic response for short-circuit events, delivering stable and repeatable protection performance.
• 2-pole design: Protects both hot legs of multi-wire branch circuits, making it ideal for shared-neutral configurations in panelboards and loadcenters.
• OEM compatibility: Engineered to integrate smoothly with matching Eaton OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring reliable fit and operation.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial installations that require robust overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
• Key specifications: Amperage Rating 150 A, Voltage Rating 1 V, Mounting Style Bolt-on, Type Thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker.

Use cases and scenarios

• Upgrading or replacing aging breakers in residential service panels where a high-current, two-pole solution is needed for large feeders or multi-wire branch circuits.
• Installing in commercial load centers to protect essential circuits such as HVAC, lighting, and power distribution with reliable trip characteristics.
• Retrofit projects in light industrial settings where vibration resistance and secure mounting reduce maintenance and downtime.

Why choose the BW2150 for your panel

• Reliable protection you can count on in both normal operation and fault conditions thanks to the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism.
