Siemens MP25020 Tandem Circuit Breaker 20 Amp

Product Description

The SIEMENS MP25020 is a tandem circuit breaker rated at 20 amps per pole, providing two 20-amp circuits in a single-pole space. This type of breaker is used when a panel is near capacity and additional circuit slots are needed without replacing the panel. It fits into a standard single-pole breaker slot while supplying two independent 120-volt branch circuits. Licensed electricians install this breaker during panel upgrades, service additions, or load center expansions. Its compact design makes it a practical solution for residential and light commercial electrical distribution work.

The MP25020 is suited for residential load centers and light commercial panelboards where space-saving tandem configurations are permitted. It is commonly installed when adding branch circuits for lighting, receptacles, or small appliance loads. Always verify that the target panel's directory or manufacturer documentation lists tandem breakers as an approved configuration before installation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for load centers that accept tandem circuit breakers in the MP-series form factor. Verify panel compatibility and tandem-approved slot positions in the panel directory before installation.

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 main breaker and confirm the panel is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before handling any wiring. Confirm the load center's directory identifies the target slot as tandem-approved before seating the breaker. Do not install a tandem breaker in a slot not rated for tandem use.
