Engineered for residential power distribution, the Siemens Q22020CT2NC quadplex breaker provides four 20A circuits within a two-pole footprint. This plug-on unit features a non-CTL design without a rejection clip. It mounts into older, pre-1968 ITE, Gould, and Siemens non-CTL load centers that accept QT breakers. Rated at 10kAIC, it utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology.
What does the "NC" in the Q22020CT2NC catalog number mean?
The "NC" stands for Non-CTL (Circuit Total Limiting). This indicates the breaker is manufactured without a rejection clip, allowing it to be installed in older Siemens, ITE, or Gould load centers that lack CTL rejection features.
Can I use the Q22020CT2NC in a modern Siemens load center?
Generally, no. Modern Siemens load centers are designed for CTL breakers and include physical rejection features on the busbar that prevent the installation of Non-CTL breakers. The Q22020CT2NC is intended for older, pre-1968 panels or specific Non-CTL enclosures.
How are the circuits configured on the Q22020CT2NC quadplex breaker?
This quadplex breaker provides two independent 240V circuits in a two-inch footprint. It features a 2-pole 20A circuit on the inner poles and a separate 2-pole 20A circuit on the outer poles.
Are the inner and outer circuits on the Q22020CT2NC common trip?
Yes, the "CT2" designation indicates that both the inner 20A double-pole and the outer 20A double-pole circuits feature an internal common trip mechanism. If one leg of either 240V circuit overloads, both legs of that specific circuit will trip simultaneously.
Does the Q22020CT2NC require a rejection clip for installation?
No. Because it is a Non-CTL breaker, it does not have a rejection clip. This allows it to plug into any available full-size space in compatible older panels without being blocked by a notched busbar.
Can the Q22020CT2NC replace older ITE or Gould quad breakers?
Yes, this Siemens Non-CTL quad breaker is the direct replacement for older ITE and Gould 20/20A quadplex breakers used in pre-1968 load centers.
