Engineered for commercial power distribution, the Square D FH16015A is a 1-pole, 15A molded case circuit breaker from the legacy F-Frame family. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for demanding electrical systems. This plug-on MCCB mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards using a factory-configured Phase A connection. For modern upgrades, it is replaced by the PowerPact BGA14015.
What type of panelboards is the FH16015A compatible with?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It uses a plug-on I-Line connection and is not compatible with standard QO, Homeline, or NQ/NF panels.
What does the "A" suffix in the FH16015A catalog number indicate?
The "A" indicates that this 1-pole I-Line breaker is factory-configured to connect specifically to Phase A on the panelboard bus stack. If your load requires a Phase B or Phase C connection, you will need the FH16015B or FH16015C variant instead.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FH16015A circuit breaker?
The FH16015A is a legacy F-Frame breaker. For modern upgrades, it is superseded by the Square D PowerPact B-Frame series, specifically the BGA14015, which offers the same 15-amp rating and I-Line compatibility.
How does the FH16015A mount into the panelboard?
It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection. The breaker snaps directly onto the panelboard bus stack, allowing for quick installation without the need for individual bus fasteners.
Can the FH16015A be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for up to 125VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific direct current control and distribution circuits.
What size wire can be used with the load lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed load lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 4 AWG, and are compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors. Proper torque specifications must be followed during installation.
What type of trip mechanism does the FH16015A use?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal element provides long-time protection against overloads, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous protection against short circuits.
