Schneider Electric QO1520 QO Tandem Mini Circuit Breaker 1 Pole at 15A & 1 Pole at 20A, 10kA, 120/240VAC

Description

Features

• Engineered as a "one-pole, two-circuit" breaker, the QO1520 allows you to run two separate 120V circuits while occupying only a single 3/4-inch space in your load center. This is the ultimate solution for homeowners and electricians looking to expand a crowded electrical panel for a basement finish or kitchen remodel without the massive expense of installing a new subpanel.
• This unique tandem configuration features one 15-amp pole and one 20-amp pole, providing the exact power required for mixed-use residential zones. Use the 15A side for standard lighting and bedroom outlets while utilizing the 20A side for high-draw appliances or garage power tools, ensuring high-performance protection tailored to your specific household demands.
• Equipped with high-quality pressure plate lugs, this breaker securely accepts copper wiring ranging from #14 AWG to #8 AWG. This wide-range compatibility ensures a tight, low-resistance connection for both standard 14-gauge lighting circuits and heavier 12-gauge or 10-gauge appliance runs, preventing the heat buildup and arcing associated with poor wire-to-breaker contact.
• Featuring Schneider Electric s industry-leading Visi-Trip indicator, a high-visibility red flag appears in the breaker window the moment a fault occurs. This allows for instant identification of the tripped circuit among dozens of others, significantly reducing troubleshooting time and letting you safely reset your power with total confidence.
• Designed with the iconic QO "Plug-On" attachment, this breaker snaps directly onto the bus bar of any QO-compatible panel or CSED. The secure, cam-action connection provides superior mechanical and electrical stability compared to standard "bolt-on" or generic "twin" breakers, maintaining the integrity of your Square D system and ensuring your installation stays fully UL-listed and code-compliant.
