Leviton AFCI Hydraulic Magnetic Branch Circuit Breaker

Leviton AFCI Hydraulic Magnetic Branch Circuit Breaker

The Leviton AFCI Hydraulic Magnetic Branch Circuit Breaker delivers dependable arc-fault and overcurrent protection for branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built around a hydraulic magnetic trip mechanism rather than a purely thermal design, it provides consistent, temperature-stable tripping performance regardless of ambient conditions, while AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection helps guard against dangerous arcing faults. This breaker is available in multiple pole, amperage, and voltage configurations — including 2-pole, 20A, 120/240V AC arrangements — to suit a range of branch circuit protection needs in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical distribution systems.

Key Features

• AFCI Protection: Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter technology helps detect and interrupt dangerous arcing conditions on the branch circuit.
• Hydraulic Magnetic Trip Mechanism: Provides stable, temperature-independent tripping response for reliable overcurrent protection compared to purely thermal designs.
• Branch Circuit Protection: Designed specifically to safeguard individual branch circuits within a panelboard or load center from overload and short-circuit conditions.
• Pole Configuration Options: Available in various pole arrangements, including 2-pole configurations, to suit single-phase and multi-phase branch circuit applications.
• Amperage and Voltage Ratings: Offered in ratings such as 20A at 120/240V AC to match branch circuit load and system voltage requirements.
• Leviton Engineering: Manufactured by Leviton, a recognized supplier of electrical distribution components for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
• Panelboard Compatibility: Sized and configured for installation in compatible panelboards and load centers as part of a coordinated branch circuit protection scheme.
• Consistent Performance: Hydraulic magnetic construction reduces nuisance tripping associated with ambient temperature swings, supporting long-term circuit reliability.
