Serving as a vital component for legacy residential systems, the Wadsworth A215NI delivers 15A of thermal-magnetic protection. This two-pole miniature breaker is built to handle standard 120/240V loads in older homes where original hardware is still in use. Snaps securely into Wadsworth Type A panelboards, ensuring an exact fit. For modern replacements, the Connecticut Electric UBIA215NI is a fully compatible substitute. Delivering a 10 kAIC interrupting capacity, this unit is HACR rated.
Is there a modern replacement for the Wadsworth A215NI?
Yes. Connecticut Electric manufactures a direct, ETL-listed replacement for this breaker under the part number UBIA215NI. It is specifically designed to fit the same legacy Wadsworth Type A load centers.
How much panel space does the Wadsworth A215NI require?
As a 2-pole Type A circuit breaker, it requires two standard 1-inch spaces, occupying a total of 2 inches of width in the load center.
