Siemens Q2020 20-Amp Circuit Breakers for Type QT Panels

Siemens provides a diverse range of thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, essential for safeguarding your home's electrical system from overload and short-circuit incidents. In addition to this, Siemens offers circuit breakers designed to ward off severe electrical shocks or electrocution, reduce the likelihood of electrical fires, and shield against harmful surges and voltage spikes.

The primary function of circuit breakers is to switch and protect the wiring in your home from excessive temperatures stemming from currents surpassing the wire's rating. Although thermal-magnetic circuit breakers are crucial for managing overload and short-circuit situations in your electrical setup, it is essential to recognize that certain hazardous scenarios can arise even without the involvement of excess currents. For installation in Siemens EQ, Siemens Ultimate, ITE, and Gould load centers, as well as meter combinations approved for type QT breakers, Siemens offers space-saving, plug-in circuit breakers.

It is imperative to refer to the wiring diagram to verify compatibility. To maintain the viability of a Siemens panel's warranty, the installation of Siemens breakers is mandatory. These duplex breakers offer the convenience of two single-pole breakers within the typical space occupied by a solitary standard breaker. Additionally, these 1/2-inch frame duplex breakers are the optimal choice when needing to add new circuits to a panel lacking available slots. Featuring plug-in type QT connections, these breakers are equipped for easy installation in Siemens load centers and meter combinations, ensuring compatibility with Siemens PL and ES series load centers.

These breakers are designed to facilitate overload and short-circuit protection for your electrical system. With thermal-magnetic properties, they are suitable for accepting #14-6 AWG Cu or #14-6 AWG Al wire. Furthermore, these space-saving breakers boast a 10,000 AIC interrupting rating and are UL Listed for added reliability and safety.
