C220 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

C220 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

The C220 is a 20 Amp, 2-pole circuit breaker used in compatible Type C electrical panels. If you're replacing an existing breaker, there's a good chance you're looking to match both the amp rating and the breaker style already installed in the panel. That's where the C220 fits in. Designed for 120/240VAC applications, it provides the common trip protection required for circuits where both poles need to disconnect together if a fault occurs.

Its common trip design means both poles open simultaneously during an overload or short circuit, helping protect wiring, connected equipment, and the overall electrical system.

The C220 is HACR rated for approved heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications, but its use isn't limited to HVAC equipment. You'll also find breakers like this protecting dedicated appliance circuits, pumps, refrigeration systems, utility equipment, workshop circuits, and other 120/240VAC loads that require a 20 Amp, 2-pole breaker. Most circuit breakers spend years doing their job unnoticed. When an electrical fault occurs, though, they're expected to react immediately. That's exactly what the C220 is designed to do.
