BQCH3B020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker Description
BQCH3B020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker
The BQCH3B020 molded case circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 20-amp bolt-on breaker designed for dependable circuit protection in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. Built on the BQCH frame platform, this breaker delivers a 14kA A.I.C. rating at 480VAC, providing the interrupting capacity required for branch circuit protection in higher-voltage applications. Rated for operation at 40°C and HACR applications, the BQCH3B020 is well-suited for installations involving heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. Its bolt-on mounting configuration ensures secure installation in compatible panelboards, making it a form, fit, and function replacement for existing BQCH frame devices in legacy systems. Constructed to handle the demands of daily operation, this molded case circuit breaker is built to last and maintain consistent protection over time.
