Q22020CT - Quadplex 20/20 Circuit Breaker

Q22020CT - Quadplex 20/20 Circuit Breaker

When your panel space is tight, choosing the right breaker becomes even more important. The Q22020CT is a 20-amp Type QT quadplex circuit breaker for use in compatible 120/240VAC electrical systems. Its compact, plug-in design measures only 2 inches wide, allowing multiple circuit positions to fit into a relatively small amount of panel space. The breaker carries a 10k AIC rating at 120/240VAC and features common-trip operation. It's also HACR-rated and specified for 40°C applications. For electricians, maintenance teams, and property owners replacing an existing breaker, the Q22020CT offers a straightforward option when these exact electrical ratings and the Type QT configuration are required. As with any replacement circuit breaker, check the panel specifications and the existing breaker information before installation to ensure everything matches.

Key Features and Benefits

• 20-amp rating for circuits that require a 20-amp breaker.
• Quadplex configuration makes efficient use of available panel space.
• At just 2 inches wide, it provides a compact solution for compatible panels.
• 10k AIC at 120/240VAC provides the specified interrupting capacity for the breaker.
• Plug-in construction allows installation in compatible equipment designed for Type QT breakers.
• Common-trip operation provides linked tripping where the circuit configuration requires it.
• HACR rated for qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
• 40°C, rated per the available product specifications.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Based on the available specifications, the Q22020CT is HACR-rated and has a stated 40°C rating. No other material-compliance information or third-party certifications are included in the provided product data, so additional certifications should not be assumed.
• For replacement work, it's worth considering more than just the amp rating. Breaker type, voltage, interrupting capacity, connection style, and panel compatibility all matter when determining whether a breaker is suitable for a particular installation.

Where It Works Best

• The Q22020CT is intended for compatible electrical panels and load centers that accept Type QT plug-in breakers. Its quadplex layout is particularly useful in applications where panel space is limited, and this specific breaker configuration is required.
• Because it's HACR-rated, it may also be used in qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications when the equipment calls for a breaker with these specifications. Residential and light commercial installations may also be appropriate, depending on the panel and circuit requirements.
