General Electric CR215GFE Switch

The General Electric CR215GFE serves as a precision thermal magnetic circuit breaker engineered to protect industrial and commercial electrical circuits from dangerous overcurrent events and short circuits. Rated specifically for a 15 ampere operating current, this unit incorporates a robust molded case design capable of interrupting fault currents up to 10,000 amps symmetrical at standard 240-volt or 480-volt AC supply lines. Technicians utilize this model during retrofitting or maintenance projects where reliable disconnecting capability and precise trip characteristics match the requirements of industrial electrical panelboard systems. By integrating this standard part into existing panel assemblies, facilities maintain essential coordination between upstream protection and downstream loads, effectively reducing the fire risks associated with wiring insulation failures or sustained ground faults within heavy factory machinery; additionally, the device features a bolt-on mounting interface compatible with the broader CR2 frame family, allowing for straightforward installation tasks in vertical busway environments where compact physical dimensions dictate high-density power arrangements.
