Eaton siemens-q220 Double Pole Circuit Breaker 20 Amp

Product Description

The EATON siemens-q220 is a 2-pole, 20-amp QP-style circuit breaker designed for residential and light commercial electrical panels. It provides overcurrent protection for 240-volt branch circuits, tripping automatically when current exceeds the rated amperage to protect wiring and connected equipment. Licensed electricians install this breaker during new construction, panel upgrades, and branch circuit additions. The double-pole configuration occupies two slots in a standard loadcenter and handles loads such as dryers, water heaters, and HVAC equipment.

This breaker is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 2-pole, 20-amp overcurrent protective device is required. It fits standard QP-style loadcenter installations and is appropriate for 240-volt branch circuits in dwelling units and small commercial buildings. It is commonly installed during service panel upgrades or when adding dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances.

Key Features

• 2-pole configuration provides overcurrent protection for 240-volt branch circuits
• 20-amp rating suitable for dryers, water heaters, and HVAC branch circuits
• QP-style form factor for compatibility with standard residential loadcenters

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 panel and verify the main breaker is off before handling any busbar or breaker connections. Confirm the loadcenter accepts QP-style breakers before installation.
