Eaton Cutler-Hammer BD2015 Type BR Duplex Twin 2-Pole Breaker – 15A & 20A (Rejection Type)

Overview

The BD2015 Type BR duplex twin 2-pole circuit breaker from Eaton Cutler-Hammer is designed for BR style panels, delivering two independent poles in a compact form. The rejection-type design helps ensure that only compatible replacements are seated correctly, reducing the risk of mismatched components during maintenance or upgrades. This unit supports both 15A and 20A branch circuits, making it a versatile choice for mixed-load panels that service lighting, outlets, and small appliances.

Why choose the BD2015

In spaces where space and simplicity matter, a duplex twin breaker can streamline panel layouts by consolidating two poles into a single device. The BD2015 is built to withstand daily electrical cycling and provides clear labeling for quick inspection. This makes routine maintenance easier and helps technicians verify circuit protection at a glance.

Design and safety features

Key design aspects emphasize reliability and correct fit. The two-pole configuration ensures simultaneous disconnection of both conductors when tripped, while the rugged housing and terminals tolerate typical residential wiring. The UL listing and factory testing help confirm consistent performance under load. The inclusion of a rejection mechanism reduces the chance of inserting an incompatible part into BR panels.

• Two independent poles in one compact unit
• Rejection-type design prevents incorrect seating
• Rugged construction for durable everyday use
• UL-listed for BR style panels
