Built for commercial power distribution, the Eaton BAB1015S is a 15-amp, single-pole miniature circuit breaker. It incorporates a shunt trip mechanism, providing the ability to remotely open the circuit for automated control systems. The Quicklag breaker features a rugged bolt-on connection. It mounts into Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards and provides a seamless replacement for older Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse load centers. This 10kAIC unit is HACR rated and supports up to 62.5VDC systems.
Which panelboards are compatible with the BAB1015S circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, as well as legacy Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, and Challenger panelboards that accept BAB frame breakers.
What does the S suffix in the BAB1015S catalog number indicate?
The S suffix indicates that this circuit breaker is equipped with a factory-installed shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying a voltage signal.
Can the BAB1015S be used in DC applications?
Yes, in addition to its standard AC ratings, this breaker is rated for DC applications. It provides a 5kA interrupting capacity at 24V DC and 48V DC, and a 3.8kA interrupting capacity at 62.5V DC.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the box lugs on this breaker?
The box lugs on the BAB1015S accept 14 AWG to 8 AWG wire and are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors. Always ensure proper torque specifications are met during installation.
What type of trip mechanism does the BAB1015S use?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal component provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides instantaneous protection against short circuits.
How does the BAB1015S install into the panelboard?
It features a bolt-on connection, meaning it securely bolts directly to the panelboard bus bar rather than snapping in. This provides a robust, vibration-resistant connection typical in commercial and industrial applications.
Is the BAB1015S suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, Eaton BAB breakers in the 15A to 100A range are HACR rated, making this breaker suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits.
Can this breaker be used to switch fluorescent lighting circuits?
Yes, 15A and 20A 1-pole BAB breakers are Switching Duty (SWD) rated. This means they can be safely used as switches for 120V fluorescent lighting applications on a regular basis.

We placed our first order with superbreakers.com recently for a breaker we weren't able to acquire locally. I ordered the breaker way ahead of time because I've had issues with shipping for products purchased online in the past. The estimate for the item when I initially ordered was 3 days. Without adding an expedited shipping options, the breaker arrived the next day. We installed it this week, and so far so good. In my opinion, they sell quality parts and have excellent turn around time. Very impressed.
