Q120 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

Q120 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

Need a replacement Q120 circuit breaker? This 20 Amp, 1-pole Type QP breaker is a compact plug-in option for compatible electrical panels and distribution equipment. It carries a 10k AIC rating at 120VAC and measures approximately 2.88 inches high, 1 inch wide, and 2.56 inches deep. The Q120 is also HACR-rated and rated at 40°C, allowing it to be used in applicable heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration circuits, as well as other compatible electrical applications. Its 1-inch width keeps things simple when you're matching an existing breaker or working with equipment designed for this breaker type. If you're replacing an older breaker, check more than just the 20 Amp rating. The Q120 part number, Type QP designation, single-pole configuration, voltage, AIC rating, and panel compatibility should all match your equipment's requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The Q120 Type QP circuit breaker is UL 489 listed and HACR-rated. These designations provide important information when checking whether a breaker meets the requirements of a particular electrical application.
• One important point: don't choose a replacement breaker based on amperage alone. Always check the panel or equipment labeling and confirm that the breaker type, voltage, number of poles, interrupting rating, and other specifications are correct for the application. Installation should follow applicable electrical codes and manufacturer requirements.

Where It Works Best

• The Q120 20-Amp breaker is best suited to compatible electrical equipment that specifically calls for a 1-pole Type QP plug-in circuit breaker with these ratings. It's a natural replacement choice when an existing Q120 needs to be matched by part number and specifications.
• Because it's HACR-rated, the Q120 may also be used in applicable heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits where its electrical ratings meet the equipment's requirements.
• For replacement work, the easiest approach is simple: compare the breaker you're replacing with the specifications above. If your application calls for a Q120, 20A, 1-pole, Type QP breaker rated 10k AIC at 120VAC, you'll know you're looking at the right set of specifications.
