Value Collection BDC21747 20A Type Iii Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDC21747 is a Type III plug-in circuit breaker rated at 20 amps with a manual tripping mechanism. Circuit breakers of this type serve as overcurrent protection devices within electrical distribution panels and load centers. The plug-in mount design allows for direct installation into compatible breaker panel slots without additional hardware. This style of breaker is typically installed by licensed electricians during new construction, panel upgrades, or branch circuit replacements in residential and light commercial applications. The manual trip mechanism requires physical reset after a fault condition, which is standard for this breaker classification.

This breaker is suited for branch circuit overcurrent protection in standard residential or light commercial electrical panels. It is used in applications where a 20-amp, manually-reset protective device is required on a plug-in style load center. Electricians select Type III breakers for circuits where manual reset is preferred or code-required, such as certain dedicated appliance circuits or panel retrofits.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) requirements. Always de-energize and lock out the main service panel before handling any breaker or internal panel component. Verify that the panel is rated to accept plug-in style breakers and that the bus bar configuration is compatible before installation. Do not exceed the 20-amp rating of this breaker on any branch circuit it protects.
