Eaton siemens-q2020nc Tandem Circuit Breaker 20A 120V

Product Description

The EATON siemens-q2020nc is a tandem-style, non-current limiting circuit breaker rated at 20 amps per pole and 120 volts. It uses thermal-magnetic trip technology to provide overload and short-circuit protection in residential and light commercial electrical distribution systems. With a 10,000 AIC interrupting rating, this breaker handles fault currents common to standard branch-circuit applications. The plug-in connection design simplifies installation in compatible load centers, and the insta-wire feature reduces termination time on the job. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the typical installers of this component.

This tandem breaker is suited for residential and light commercial panelboard applications where two 20-amp, 120-volt branch circuits are needed in a single breaker slot. It is compatible with Siemens PL and ES series load centers. Typical applications include branch-circuit protection for lighting, receptacle, and general-purpose circuits in new construction and retrofit panel work.

Key Features

• Tandem design places two 20-amp, 120-volt circuits in one breaker slot
• Thermal-magnetic trip mechanism for overload and short-circuit protection
• 10,000 AIC interrupting rating for standard residential branch circuits
• Non-current limiting design suitable for general branch-circuit use
• Plug-in connection for fast, secure installation in compatible enclosures
• Insta-wire feature speeds conductor termination

Compatibility

Compatible with Siemens PL and ES series load centers as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panelboard and verify with a meter that power is off before handling any breaker or wiring. Confirm that the load center is listed as compatible with this tandem breaker before installation. Do not exceed the ampacity rating of the conductors being protected.
