Eaton Corporation BD1515 Tandem Circuit Breaker 15A 120V

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION BD1515 is a single pole tandem circuit breaker rated at 15 amps and 120 volts, designed to provide two independent 15-amp circuits within a single 1-inch breaker slot. The two poles are riveted together in a compact 1-inch case, allowing electricians to add circuit capacity to a full panel without requiring additional breaker spaces. This type of breaker is commonly installed in residential and light commercial load centers where panel space is limited and additional branch circuits are needed.

The BD1515 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical panels where tandem or duplex breakers are permitted. It provides two separate 15-amp branch circuits from a single panel slot, making it a practical solution during panel upgrades, service calls, or new circuit additions in existing installations. Each pole operates independently, so a fault on one circuit does not affect the other.

Key Features

• Tandem design provides two 15-amp circuits in a single 1-inch panel slot
• Riveted dual-pole construction for a compact, stable assembly
• Rated at 120 volts for standard residential branch circuit applications
• Individual poles operate independently for separate circuit protection
• Sold in bulk packaging with individual UPC bar codes per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on tandem circuit breaker for compatible residential and light commercial load centers that accept single-pole tandem breakers in a 1-inch slot configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always de-energize the panel and verify absence of voltage before handling any breaker or wiring. Confirm that the load center is rated to accept tandem breakers in the intended slot position before installation, as not all slots in a panel support tandem devices. Use appropriately rated conductors for a 15-amp, 120-volt branch circuit.
