Leviton LB270 2-Pole 70-Amp Plug-On Mount Branch Circuit Breaker
The Leviton LB270 is a standard plug-on mount branch circuit breaker built to deliver dependable overcurrent protection in residential and light commercial load centers. Configured as a 2-pole, 70-Amp breaker, the LB270 is sized for branch circuits that demand higher amperage capacity, such as larger appliance circuits, sub-panel feeds, and other double-pole loads found in modern electrical systems.
