QCP20 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

QCP20 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

When a compatible electrical system calls for a 20 Amp, 2-pole Type QP circuit breaker, the QCP20 offers the ratings and configuration needed to help you keep branch circuits protected. It uses a thermal magnetic trip mechanism that responds to both prolonged overloads and sudden short circuits, helping you protect wiring and connected equipment during normal operation. With its Cable-In/Cable-Out design and 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, this breaker is intended as a form, fit, and functional replacement for compatible installations. Built to last, it is a practical option for maintaining your existing residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems where the original specifications need to be matched.
