Q1520 - Duplex 15/20 Circuit Breaker

Q1520 - Duplex 15/20 Circuit Breaker

The Q1520 Type QT circuit breaker is a 15/20-amp duplex breaker designed for applications where panel space is at a premium. Instead of using separate full-size breakers, the duplex configuration puts two circuit ratings into a unit that's only 1 inch wide. The Q1520 is a plug-in breaker rated for 120VAC and 10 kA AIC. It's also HACR-rated, so it can be used in appropriate heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications that call for an HACR-rated breaker. The breaker measures 3.13 inches high, 1 inch wide, and 2.56 inches deep. If you're replacing an existing Q1520, check more than just the physical size. The Type QT designation, 15/20-amp rating, voltage, interrupting rating, and panel compatibility should all match the application's requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15/20 amp duplex configuration provides two circuit ratings in a compact breaker.
• At just 1 inch wide, it helps conserve space in compatible panels.
• Rated 10 kA AIC at 120VAC.
• Plug-in design for compatible electrical equipment.
• HACR rated for appropriate heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
• Rated to 40 °C.
• Compact dimensions of 3.13 x 1.0 x 2.56 inches make it a practical option when panel space is limited.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The information available for the Q1520 identifies the breaker as HACR-rated and 40°C-rated. No additional agency certifications, environmental certifications, or material compliance information was provided in the supplied specifications, so I wouldn't make claims about UL, CSA, RoHS, or other standards without supporting documentation.
• For jobs where a particular certification or compliance standard is required, verify the markings on the breaker and the applicable product documentation.
  

Where It Works Best

• The Q1520 is best suited for compatible electrical panels that require a Type QT 15/20-amp duplex breaker. The 1-inch width is particularly useful when panel space is limited, and the equipment is designed to accept this duplex configuration.
  
• Because it's HACR-rated, it can also be used in appropriate heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications where the equipment specifications call for an HACR-rated breaker.
  
• When you're matching a replacement breaker, don't rely on appearance or dimensions alone. Confirm the Q1520 part number, Type QT designation, 15/20 amp rating, 120VAC rating, 10 kA AIC rating, plug-in connection, and compatibility with the specific electrical equipment before installation.
