Description

Built for residential power distribution, the Eaton BD2020 delivers two independent 20A circuits from a single one-inch panel space. This tandem breaker easily installs into modern Eaton BR load centers and provides a verified cross-reference for obsolete BRD2020 and A2020 part numbers in older enclosures. Featuring a thermal-magnetic trip and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 120VAC, it includes a CTL rejection tab to prevent insertion into restricted, unnotched panel slots.

Product FAQs

8 answers
What panels are compatible with the BD2020 tandem breaker?

The BD2020 is designed for use in Eaton Type BR, Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse load centers that accept CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) tandem breakers.

Can I install the BD2020 in any available slot in my panel?

No. Because the BD2020 is a CTL breaker with a rejection tab, it can only be installed in panel slots specifically notched to accept tandem breakers.

How many panel spaces does the BD2020 require?

This tandem breaker requires only one standard 1-inch panel space but provides two independent 120V, 20A single-pole circuits.

What is the difference between the BD2020 and the BR2020?

The BD2020 is a 1-inch tandem breaker that provides two independent 120V circuits from a single bus stab. The BR2020 is a 2-inch, 2-pole breaker designed for 240V applications across two panel spaces.

Is the BD2020 a direct replacement for older tandem breakers?

Yes, the BD2020 replaces obsolete BRD2020 and A2020 tandem breakers used in compatible BR-style enclosures.

Is the BD2020 rated for switching fluorescent lighting loads?

Yes, the 20A single-pole circuits on the BD2020 are SWD (Switch Duty) rated, making them suitable for switching fluorescent lighting loads.

Can the BD2020 be used for HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 20A circuit.

What is the purpose of the rejection tab on the BD2020?

The CTL rejection tab prevents the breaker from being installed in panel slots not designed for tandem breakers, ensuring compliance with panelboard circuit limits.
