Eaton BD1515 – 15 Amp 120/240V Single-Pole Tandem Circuit Breaker

Overview

The Eaton BD1515 is a 15-amp, 120/240-volt, single-pole tandem circuit breaker designed for use in Eaton Type BR load centers. This breaker allows two separate 15-amp circuits to occupy a single slot, effectively doubling the panel's capacity without increasing its physical size. It's ideal for installations where space is limited but additional circuits are needed.
