QO2030 Duplex 20/30 Circuit Breaker

QO2030 Duplex 20/30 Circuit Breaker

Running out of room in your electrical panel doesn't always mean it's time for a larger panel. The QO2030 duplex circuit breaker is made for situations where space is limited but another circuit is needed. By combining a 20 amp and 30 amp breaker into a single breaker space, it lets you add capacity without giving up two full positions.

This Type QO plug-on circuit breaker installs into compatible QO load centers and provides dependable protection against overloads and short circuits with a 10kA interrupting rating at 120VAC. Whether you're replacing a damaged breaker or making room for an additional branch circuit during a remodel, the compact design helps make the most of the panel you already have.

For electricians and maintenance professionals, it's a practical solution when every breaker space matters. For homeowners upgrading an existing panel, it can be an easy way to expand available circuits without a more extensive electrical project.
