Leviton Plug-On Mount AFCI Thermal Magnetic Branch Circuit Breaker
The Leviton Plug-On Mount AFCI Thermal Magnetic Branch Circuit Breaker is engineered to deliver dependable arc-fault and overcurrent protection for branch circuit wiring in residential and commercial electrical systems. This 1-Pole, 20-Amp, 120-Volt AC device combines AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) detection with a thermal magnetic trip mechanism, responding to dangerous arcing conditions as well as sustained overloads and short-circuit currents. The plug-on mount design installs directly into compatible panelboards without additional hardware, simplifying both new installations and panel upgrades. As a branch circuit breaker from Leviton, it is built to integrate into standard panelboard layouts used across a wide range of electrical distribution applications, helping protect branch circuit wiring, connected equipment, and the building electrical system as a whole.
Key Features
- AFCI Protection: Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter technology detects dangerous arcing conditions in branch circuit wiring that standard thermal magnetic breakers alone can miss.
- Thermal Magnetic Trip: Combines thermal response to sustained overloads with magnetic response to short-circuit currents for layered branch circuit protection.
- Electrical Rating: Rated 1-Pole, 20-Amp, 120-Volt AC for standard residential and commercial branch circuits.
- Plug-On Mount: Installs directly onto compatible panelboard bus bars for straightforward, tool-minimal mounting during installation or replacement.
- Branch Circuit Application: Purpose-built for branch circuit protection, helping isolate individual circuits from the rest of the electrical distribution system in the event of a fault.
- Panelboard Compatibility: Designed to fit into standard panelboard configurations, supporting straightforward integration into existing electrical distribution equipment.
- Leviton Build Quality: Manufactured by Leviton, a recognized name in electrical wiring devices and circuit protection components for professional installations.
