Eaton / Cutler-Hammer BD2015 20/15A Tandem Miniature Circuit Breaker

The BD2015 is designed for Eaton Type BR load centers, as well as legacy Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse panels that accept Class CTL breakers. The panel's bus bar must have notches to accept the breaker's CTL rejection tab.

No. Because the BD2015 is a Class CTL tandem breaker, it features a rejection tab. It can only be installed in specific panel slots that have notched bus stabs designed to accept tandem breakers, as indicated by your load center's wiring diagram.

The BD2015 is a Class CTL breaker with a rejection tab, meaning it only fits in designated tandem slots with notched bus bars. The BRD2015 is a non-CTL breaker without a rejection tab, intended only for older, pre-1968 panels that do not have circuit limiting features.

This tandem breaker houses two independent single-pole circuits in one standard 1-inch space. One circuit provides 20 amps of protection, and the other provides 15 amps, allowing you to add a circuit without taking up an additional full slot in the panel.

The BD2015 features two separate box lug terminals. You will connect the hot wire for the 20A circuit to one terminal and the hot wire for the 15A circuit to the other. Both circuits share the panel's common neutral bar.

No. The BD2015 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker, not an AFCI or GFCI unit. It does not require a dedicated neutral pigtail from the breaker itself. The neutral wires for your branch circuits will connect directly to the load center's neutral bus bar.

Yes, the Eaton BD2015 directly replaces older Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse 20/15A CTL tandem breakers. Ensure your existing panel supports CTL rejection features before installing.

Yes, both the 15A and 20A poles on the BD2015 are switch duty (SWD) rated for controlling fluorescent lighting loads. The breaker is also HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
