Q320 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

Q320 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

Need a 20-amp, 3-pole circuit breaker for a compatible Type QP application? The Q320 circuit breaker gives you the key ratings you need in a compact, plug-in design. This Type QP breaker is rated at 20 amps and 240VAC, with a 10kA AIC rating at 240VAC, making it a practical choice for protecting compatible electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Its three-pole configuration provides coordinated circuit protection across three poles. At the same time, the plug-in design makes it suitable for electrical panels and load centers specifically designed to accept Type QP breakers. The Q320 is also HACR rated, an important consideration for applicable heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications. Whether you're replacing an existing breaker or matching components for electrical maintenance, the Q320 offers an easy-to-identify combination of 20A capacity, three-pole protection, 240VAC operation, and Type QP compatibility. Just remember that circuit breakers aren't one-size-fits-all; always verify the part number, breaker type, panel compatibility, amperage, voltage, and interrupting rating before installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• Provides overcurrent protection for appropriately rated 20-amp circuits and connected equipment.
• The 3-pole configuration makes the Q320 suitable for applications requiring simultaneous protection across three poles.
• Built for compatible electrical applications requiring a 240VAC breaker.
• Provides a 10,000-amp interrupting rating at its specified voltage.
• Looking specifically for a QP breaker? The Q320's Type QP designation makes it straightforward to match the required breaker style.
• Designed for installation in compatible electrical panels and load centers that accept this breaker type.
• Suitable for applicable heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment applications where an HACR-rated breaker is specified.
• Measuring approximately 2.88 inches high × 3.0 inches wide × 2.56 inches deep, the Q320 provides three-pole protection in a compact package.
• Helps protect compatible electrical circuits from potentially damaging overload and short-circuit conditions.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The Q320 Type QP circuit breaker is HACR rated and carries a 40°C temperature rating. Type QP miniature circuit breakers are associated with recognized circuit-breaker standards, including UL 489. Because certifications and markings can vary by specific product configuration, manufacturing period, or application, the markings on the individual breaker should always be checked before installation.
  

Where It Works Best

• The Q320 20A 3-pole breaker is a strong fit when you need a Type QP plug-in circuit breaker with a 240VAC rating and 10kA interrupting capacity. It's intended for compatible electrical panels and load centers specifically designed to accept Type QP breakers and can serve residential or commercial electrical distribution applications where these exact specifications are required.
  Its HACR rating also makes the Q320 suitable for installations of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment when the equipment and electrical system call for these breaker specifications. For maintenance professionals and electricians, the key is to match the breaker to the application, not simply to find another breaker with the same amperage. Verify the Q320 part number, Type QP compatibility, 20A rating, three-pole configuration, 240VAC rating, and 10kA AIC against the equipment and panel requirements before installation.
