Siemens BG215 Circuit Breaker 15A 2-wire 120V

Product Description

The SIEMENS BG215 is a single-pole 15-amp circuit breaker rated at 120 volts, designed for residential and light commercial electrical panels. Built to BG Series specifications, it provides overcurrent protection by tripping when a circuit draws more current than the rated 15 amps. Licensed electricians install this breaker to protect branch circuits supplying lighting, receptacles, and small appliances. The compact form factor fits BG Series load centers and follows standard single-pole breaker geometry. At 0.794 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during panel work.

The BG215 is suited for residential and light commercial branch circuit protection applications. It is installed in BG Series panelboards and load centers where a 15-amp, 120-volt single-pole breaker is required. Typical circuits served include general-purpose receptacle circuits and lighting branch circuits following NEC requirements for conductor and overcurrent protection sizing.

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 main breaker is off before handling any breaker or bus connection. Confirm the panel is rated for BG Series breakers before installation. Do not install in a panel that is not rated for this breaker series, as improper breaker-to-bus fit creates arc and fire hazards.
