Square D BR220 2-pole Circuit Breaker 20A 120/240V

Product Description

The SQUARE D BR220 is a 2-pole, plug-on load center circuit breaker rated at 20 amps and 120/240 volts AC. It features common-trip operation, meaning both poles trip simultaneously on an overcurrent event, providing coordinated protection for 240-volt branch circuits. With a 10 kiloamp interrupting rating, it handles the fault-current levels typical of residential and light commercial panelboards. Licensed electricians install this breaker as a new branch-circuit device or a direct replacement in compatible BR series load centers. It accepts 14 to 4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors and carries UL 489 listing for branch-circuit protection.

The BR220 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical systems where a double-pole, 20-amp branch circuit is required. Typical applications include 240-volt circuits feeding HVAC equipment, water heaters, dryers, and subpanels. It installs in BR series load centers using a plug-on mounting style, seating directly onto the bus bar without additional hardware. Electricians replacing aging or tripped breakers in existing BR series panels will find this a direct plug-on fit.

Key Features

• 20-amp, 2-pole common-trip design trips both poles simultaneously
• 10 kA interrupting rating suitable for residential and light commercial fault levels
• Plug-on mounting installs directly onto BR series load center bus bars
• Accepts 14 to 4 AWG copper or aluminum wire for flexible conductor compatibility
• Rated 120/240 volts AC for standard North American branch-circuit applications
• UL 489 listed for branch-circuit overcurrent protection

Compatibility

Designed for use in BR series load centers. Specific compatible panel models should be verified against the load center manufacturer documentation prior to 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 load center and verify the main breaker is off before handling any internal panel components. Confirm the existing panel is a BR series load center before installing this breaker. Torque all conductor terminations to the values marked on the breaker label.
