Newmar 15 Amp Double Pole Breaker W/ Black Throw
Newmar 15 Amp Double Pole Breaker W/ Black Throw — Product description
Ensure your marine or RV electrical setup stays safe and reliable with the Newmar 15 Amp Double Pole Breaker featuring a sleek black throw handle. Designed for demanding environments, this breaker delivers precise circuit protection without compromise, making it a go-to choice for boat owners, RVers, and off-grid enthusiasts who prioritize performance and durability.
Superior Protection You Can Trust
Crafted with a magnetic-hydraulic "trip-free" mechanism, this breaker instantly detects overloads or short circuits and disconnects power automatically—every time, without the risk of manual override failure. Unlike basic thermal breakers, the hydraulic delay prevents nuisance trips from momentary surges, like those from starting motors or inverters, while still safeguarding against sustained faults. It's perfect for protecting dual-leg AC circuits in generators, shore power inlets, or high-draw DC loads such as thrusters and windlasses.
Universal Fit and Easy Integration
This double pole model slots seamlessly into Newmar electrical panels and most competing brands, thanks to its standard footprint. Rear #10 screw terminals simplify wiring, handling up to 65VDC or 277VAC for 15A ratings—ideal for 120/240V split-phase systems common in recreational vehicles and pleasure crafts. Note that for higher amp models in the series, check voltage compatibility to match your setup perfectly.
Key Specifications at a Glance

- 15 Amp double pole rating: Up to 65VDC or 277VAC
- Black throw handle for clear status indication
- UL recognized, CSA listed, and USCG compliant for peace of mind
- Compact size fits tight panel spaces
- Mounting screws ordered separately for custom installs
Why Double Pole for Your Setup?
Double pole breakers like this one interrupt both hot legs simultaneously, essential for 240V appliances or balanced loads. In marine applications, it protects against ground faults across phases; in RVs, it handles air conditioners or microwaves without imbalance risks. Pair it with single pole options for finer circuit control—Newmar's lineup covers 5-50A to suit everything from LED lighting to heavy inverters.
Pro Tips for Installation and Longevity
Before mounting, verify panel bus bar spacing and torque terminals to spec for vibration resistance. In salty marine air, a light dielectric grease on contacts wards off corrosion. Regularly inspect the black handle for smooth action—its color contrasts sharply against panels for quick visual checks during surveys or troubleshooting. This breaker shines in custom builds, upgrades, or replacements where stock units fall short on reliability.
Versatile Options to Match Your Needs
Customize with red, white, or black handles for coding circuits by function (e.g., black for mains). Available in single pole (5-50A) or double pole (15-50A) to future-proof your panel. Always cross-reference voltage ratings: standard up to 30A handles broader AC/DC ranges, ensuring safe operation in 115V-neutral or line-to-line configs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the magnetic-hydraulic mechanism in this breaker special?
The magnetic-hydraulic 'trip-free' design combines instant magnetic response for shorts with adjustable hydraulic delay for overloads, preventing false trips from inrush currents while ensuring fail-safe disconnection.
Is this 15 Amp double pole breaker compatible with non-Newmar panels?
Yes, its standard dimensions fit most major brand electrical panels used in marine, RV, and solar applications, making it a versatile replacement or upgrade option.
What voltage ratings apply to the 15 Amp model?
Rated for up to 65VDC or 277VAC, suitable for 120/240V AC systems and various DC setups common in boats and recreational vehicles.
Does it meet safety standards for marine use?
Absolutely—UL recognized, CSA listed for AC/DC, and fulfills USCG requirements as a qualified protection device for vessels.
What's the difference between single and double pole breakers?
Single pole protects one leg (e.g., 120V circuits); double pole like this one safeguards both legs simultaneously, ideal for 240V loads or balanced protection.
Are mounting screws included with the breaker?
Mounting screws are not provided and must be ordered separately to accommodate various panel thicknesses.
Can I get this breaker in other colors or amp ratings?
Yes, options include red, white, or black handles. Amp ratings range from 5-50A single pole and 15-50A double pole to match diverse circuit needs.
All circuit breakers offered by NEWMAR are UL recognized and CSA listed for AC and DC
systems and meet USCG requirements as a qualified circuit protection device.
