Leviton 54522-2W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does 2-pole mean on this Leviton switch, and is it the same as a 3-way?
They are different devices. The 54522 is a 2-pole switch: it breaks two ungrounded (hot) conductors at the same time from one switch point, which is what you use on a 240V or two-hot load that has to be killed completely. A 3-way switch controls one load from two separate locations. If you need two-location control, the 54522 is the wrong part and you want a 3-way, such as the Eaton Arrow Hart industrial grade three-way toggle rated 20A, 120/277V.
2) Does the Bryant 4801W work as a substitute for the Leviton 54522?
No, they are not interchangeable. The Bryant 4801W is a single-pole 15A 277V toggle from the 4-Series. The Leviton 54522 is 2-pole at 20A, 120/277V, so it switches two hot conductors and carries a higher amp rating. Swapping in the single-pole would leave one leg of the circuit energized.
3) Can I use a Bryant 4801W in place of the Leviton 54522 on a 277V lighting circuit?
Only if the circuit suits it. The Bryant 4801W is a 4-Series single-pole 15A 277V AC toggle switch in white, so it is single-pole and rated 15 amps. The Leviton 54522 is 2-pole and rated 20 amps at 120/277V. On a 20-amp branch circuit, or anywhere two ungrounded conductors must be broken together, the Bryant is not a replacement.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Leviton 54522 20A 2-pole toggle switch from another brand?
The Leviton 54522 is a 20-amp, 120/277V, 2-pole specification grade AC quiet toggle switch. The nearest cross-brand match in specification grade 20-amp toggles is the Pass & Seymour CS20AC3I, a commercial 20A specification grade toggle switch in ivory, which matches the Leviton on amperage and grade and on the ivory color offered as 54522-2I. Confirm the pole configuration you need before ordering, since the Leviton is a 2-pole device controlling two ungrounded conductors from one switch point.
5) Is a specification grade switch worth it over a residential grade device in a commercial building?
For a building with real traffic, yes. The 54522 is built to Specification (commercial) Grade, which is the tier electricians specify for heavy-use offices, schools, healthcare and industrial spaces, versus residential grade devices meant for light household duty. If you are standardizing a facility on spec grade toggles, the Pass & Seymour CS20AC3I is a comparable 20A specification grade commercial toggle, and the Pass & Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty spec grade version.
6) What colors does the Leviton 54522 toggle switch come in, and what are the part numbers?
Two colors. Ivory is 54522-2I and White is 54522-2W. That is the full color range on this switch, so if a project calls for gray, black, light almond or brown you will need a different device family. Pass & Seymour's TradeMaster line covers light almond (663LAG) and brown (660G), though those are grounding toggle switches rather than this 2-pole spec grade unit.
7) Can I use the Leviton 54522 to switch a 240V motor or heater load?
It will break both hot legs of a 2-wire, 2-hot circuit, which is the reason to pick a 2-pole switch, and it is rated 20A. Stay within that 20A rating and within the 120/277V AC rating. This is an AC-rated toggle switch, so do not apply it to DC circuits.
8) Is a Pass & Seymour TradeMaster 660G a substitute for the Leviton 54522?
No. The Pass & Seymour 660G is a TradeMaster grounding toggle switch in brown satin thermoplastic, a general-purpose residential-style device, while the Leviton 54522 is a specification grade 20-amp 120/277V 2-pole switch intended for commercial and industrial circuit control. The 660G also comes in brown, where the Leviton 54522 is offered in ivory and white. If you want a TradeMaster in a lighter color, the 663LAG is the light almond version.
9) What is a heavier-duty alternative to the Leviton 54522 for an industrial plant?
The Leviton 54522 is a specification grade 20-amp switch built for commercial duty. For an industrial setting, the Pass & Seymour PS20AC3W is an industrial extra heavy duty specification grade toggle switch in white, which corresponds to the white 54522-2W in color. Note the Leviton is a 2-pole device, so verify the pole count required at the opening before swapping.
10) Will this switch be quiet enough for a hospital corridor or open office?
That is what the AC quiet mechanism is for. The 54522 uses a framed AC quiet toggle action, so the throw is smooth and low noise rather than the sharp snap of a standard toggle. Leviton calls out offices and healthcare facilities as typical applications for it.
11) Will the Leviton 54522 fit a standard wall plate and a single-gang box?
It is a standard toggle-style wiring device, so it takes a conventional single-gang toggle wall plate. The plate is a separate order, not included, so add plates in the matching Ivory or White to go with the 54522-2I or 54522-2W.
12) I am standardizing switch colors across a building - which comparable devices come in ivory or white?
The Leviton 54522 is stocked in ivory as 54522-2I and white as 54522-2W. Among comparable specification grade toggles, the Pass & Seymour CS20AC3I is ivory and the PS20AC3W is white, so a facility standardized on either color has a cross-brand option. The Pass & Seymour TradeMaster 660G is brown and the 663LAG is light almond if a different scheme is in place on older areas.
