Maintaining vintage electrical systems is simple with the right hardware. This 15-amp, single-pole breaker is manufactured to fit Wadsworth Type A load centers. Compatibility is crucial when servicing older residential panels. This plug-on component requires no modifications to install and serves as the original version of the UBIA15NI replacement. Delivering 10kAIC interrupting capacity at 120VAC, it includes HACR and SWD ratings. The Class CTL design prevents overstuffing.
The A15NI is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered specifically for Wadsworth Type A load centers. Because Wadsworth is a legacy brand with a unique bus bar design, this breaker is not interchangeable with other panel brands.
What wire gauge can I use with the A15NI breaker lugs?
The box lug terminals on this breaker accommodate wire sizes from 14 AWG to 6 AWG. Always verify that your chosen wire gauge meets current electrical codes for a 15-amp branch circuit.
How does the Wadsworth A15NI mount into the panel?
This breaker utilizes a standard plug-in mounting style. It presses directly onto the bus bar of compatible Wadsworth Type A load centers without requiring mounting screws, making panel installation fast and straightforward.
Are there modern replacements available for the Wadsworth A15NI?
Yes. Because original Wadsworth components are now obsolete, manufacturers like Connecticut Electric produce new, UL-classified replacements. The Connecticut Electric UBIA series includes direct 1-pole, 15-amp drop-in replacements designed specifically for Wadsworth Type A load centers.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism operate in the A15NI?
The thermal-magnetic (LI) mechanism provides two layers of protection. The thermal, or long-time, function responds to prolonged overcurrent conditions, while the magnetic, or instantaneous, function trips the breaker immediately in the event of a severe short circuit.
