The QO2020CP is a 1-pole tandem circuit breaker from Schneider Electric’s Square D QO series, combining two independent 20 amp single-pole circuits in the space of one standard breaker. Rated for 20 at 240, it is a space-saving solution for adding circuits to a QO load center that has no open spaces, without requiring a panel upgrade. Its plug-in mounting design installs directly into compatible Square D QO panels, providing overload and short-circuit protection for lighting, receptacle, and small-appliance circuits.
Electrically, the QO2020CP uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, with each of the two circuits tripping independently so a fault on one does not interrupt the other. It carries an interrupting capacity of {aic rating}, is HACR rated for use with heating and air conditioning equipment, and includes Square D’s Visi-Trip indicator, which shows at a glance when a circuit has tripped. Its quick make, quick break toggle action provides fast, dependable operation.
Mechanically, the QO2020CP occupies a single 3/4 inch panel space and connects with box lugs that accept 14 AWG to 8 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. It is a UL listed and CSA certified breaker supplied in consumer packaging, making it easy to stock for retail and contractor use. Because tandem breakers are only suitable for panels designed to accept them, confirm that your load center allows tandem breakers before installing the QO2020CP.
