Eaton sqd-qo220 Miniature Circuit Breaker 20A 2P 120/240V

Product Description

The EATON sqd-qo220 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated for 20 amps at 120/240 volts with a 10 kA interrupting capacity. It provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection for branch circuits in residential and light commercial electrical panels. Licensed electricians install this breaker as part of a load center assembly, replacing failed breakers or adding new circuits during panel upgrades or service changes. The 2-pole configuration makes it suited for 240-volt dedicated circuits such as dryers, ranges, HVAC disconnect feeds, and similar double-pole loads.

This breaker is designed for use in residential and light commercial applications where a compact, reliable overcurrent device is required. It fits standard load center panel configurations and is appropriate for branch circuit protection in new construction, remodel work, and service upgrades. Electricians working to NEC code requirements will find this breaker meets typical branch circuit protection needs for 20-amp, 2-pole applications.

Key Features

• 20-amp continuous current rating for 2-pole branch circuit protection
• Rated for 120/240 volt AC systems
• 10 kA interrupting capacity for short-circuit fault protection
• 2-pole design supports 240-volt dedicated circuit loads
• Miniature form factor fits standard residential and light commercial load centers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement miniature circuit breaker for standard 2-pole residential and light commercial load center panels requiring a 20-amp, 120/240-volt breaker.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and all applicable local codes. Always de-energize the panel at the utility disconnect and verify with a voltage tester before handling any bus bar or breaker connections. Do not exceed the panel's maximum breaker count or bus rating when adding circuits. Confirm the load center is rated to accept this breaker form factor before installation.
