Product FAQs
7 answers
Which legacy load centers accept the UBITBA215 breaker?
This plug-in breaker is compatible with Challenger Type A, Crouse-Hinds Type MH, Murray Type MP, and Thomas & Betts Type A load centers.
Which obsolete circuit breaker part numbers does the TBA215 replace?
The TBA215 is a direct drop-in replacement for legacy 15-amp, 2-pole breakers including the Challenger A215, Crouse-Hinds MH215, and Murray MP215.
How is the TBA215 secured to the panel bus bar?
It utilizes a standard plug-in connection, allowing the terminal clip to snap directly onto the center bus bar of compatible load centers without the need for bolt-on hardware.
What applications are suitable for this 120/240V 2-pole breaker?
It is designed to protect dedicated 240V lines or dual 120V multi-wire branch circuits, providing a 10kAIC interrupting rating for standard residential or light commercial applications.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism operate on this breaker?
The thermal element responds to sustained overloads by heating and tripping the breaker, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous tripping during high-current short circuits.
What wire sizes are compatible with the box lugs on this breaker?
The pressure screw box lugs accept branch circuit wiring ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation to prevent loose connections.
What does it mean that the TBA215 is a classified breaker?
It indicates the breaker has been independently tested and listed to safely replace specific OEM breakers in designated legacy panels, ensuring compliance with safety standards when used in approved load centers.
