Schneider Electric QO215SWN 15A 2-pole Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC QO215SWN is a 2-pole, 15-amp thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for panelboard and loadcenter applications. It carries a 120-volt AC rating at 50/60 Hz and delivers a 10-kiloampere interrupting rating, making it suitable for branch-circuit overcurrent protection in commercial and residential distribution equipment. The QO215SWN features a switching neutral and common-trip construction, along with VISI-TRIP indication that provides a clear mid-position flag when the breaker has tripped. Licensed electricians install this device as part of a complete panel build or service replacement in NQOD panelboards, QO loadcenters, and Speed-D switchboard distribution panels.

This breaker is rated for use in residential and light commercial electrical distribution panels where a switching neutral function is required alongside overcurrent protection. The plug-on mounting style allows for straightforward installation into compatible QO-platform equipment. Pressure-plate terminals accept 14 to 8 AWG conductors in aluminum or copper, covering the wire sizes typical of 15-amp branch circuits. It is sold as a single unit and is manufactured in the United States.

Key Features

• Thermal magnetic trip mechanism provides both overload and short-circuit protection
• VISI-TRIP indicator shows a distinct mid-position when tripped for fast identification
• Switching neutral with common trip ensures simultaneous disconnection of both poles and the neutral
• Plug-on mounting for direct installation into QO-platform panelboards and loadcenters
• Pressure-plate terminals accept 14 to 8 AWG aluminum or copper conductors
• UL and CSA listed for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

The QO215SWN is listed for use on NQOD Panelboards, QO Loadcenters, and Speed-D Switchboard Distribution Panels as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel and verify the absence of voltage before inserting or removing the breaker. Confirm that the panelboard or loadcenter model is listed as compatible with the QO215SWN before installation. Do not exceed the conductor size range or voltage rating specified for this device.
