The Cutler‑Hammer BD1515 Miniature Circuit Breaker is a space‑saving electrical protection device designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection in compatible Cutler‑Hammer load centers. Featuring a 2‑1 pole (tandem) configuration, this breaker allows two independent 15‑amp circuits to occupy a single panel space, making it an ideal solution for panels with limited available breaker positions.
Engineered for dependable performance, the BD1515 uses a thermal‑magnetic trip mechanism that quickly responds to overloads and short circuits, helping protect branch circuit wiring and connected equipment. Its compact design supports efficient panel organization while maintaining compliance with applicable electrical standards when used in approved panels.
The plug‑in mounting style allows for fast, secure installation, making this breaker a practical choice for residential service upgrades, circuit additions, and replacement applications. Designed specifically for use in compatible Cutler‑Hammer panels, the BD1515 delivers trusted performance backed by Eaton’s long‑standing reputation in electrical protection.
