Square D | FAP22015 | Circuit Breaker | 15A | 2-Pole | 240V

The Square D FAP22015 circuit breaker is a compact, dependable overcurrent protector designed for 240V electrical systems. Built by Square D, this 2-pole unit delivers 15-amp protection for circuits that demand reliable interruption under fault conditions, helping guard wiring and connected equipment from damage.

Key details to know before you order:

• Brand: Square D
• Part number: FAP22015
• Amperage: 15A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 240V

Why this 2-Pole, 240V design matters

A 2-pole 240V breaker protects both hot legs of a typical split-phase system, ensuring simultaneous disconnection during a fault. This is essential for 240V circuits such as large appliances and heavy equipment, preventing imbalanced loads and reducing risk to equipment and panel integrity.

Best use cases

• Replacement for aging or tripped 240V breakers in compatible Square D panels
• Maintenance and retrofit projects where an exact 15A, 2-pole, 240V unit is required
• New installations that mirror the FAP22015 specifications for a precise fit

Important compatibility notes

Always confirm fit and ratings before ordering. The part number FAP22015 is the most reliable reference for compatibility with your panel. If your panel signage or documentation lists this exact part, you’re likely aligned for a seamless replacement.

Installation tips and safety

• Power down the main breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized before service.
• Use appropriate insulated tools and keep hands dry.
• Inspect the breaker’s mounting and terminals for signs of wear; replace if damaged.
• Insert firmly into the bus and snap the handle into the OFF position before applying power.

How this compares to alternatives

While many breakers offer similar amperage and voltage ratings, the FAP family from Square D is designed to align with specific panel lineages. This means easier cross-reference checks and more predictable behavior in your electrical panel, reducing the risk of incompatible crossovers and nuisance trips.

Whether you’re swapping a failed unit or upgrading a panel to maintain code-compliant overcurrent protection, the Square D FAP22015 delivers reliable 15A, 2-pole, 240V performance that electricians trust for straightforward installations and consistent protection.
