Restoring power to vintage residential systems, the Wadsworth A210NI provides 10A of reliable circuit protection. This two-pole plug-on breaker is engineered specifically for older homes utilizing classic electrical infrastructure. Mounts into Wadsworth Type A load centers, offering a seamless fit without requiring panel modifications. Featuring a 10 kAIC interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, this Class CTL breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for dedicated HVAC and refrigeration circuits.
What panels are compatible with the Wadsworth A210NI?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Wadsworth Type A load centers. It features a proprietary plug-on clip design that will not fit in modern panels from other manufacturers.
How does the A210NI connect to the panel busbar?
It uses a plug-on mounting style specific to Wadsworth Type A load centers. The breaker snaps directly onto the busbar stabs without requiring bolt-on hardware.
What applications typically require a 10-amp, 2-pole breaker?
A 10A, 240V breaker is typically used for dedicated, low-draw 240V equipment. Common applications include specific HVAC components, small motors, or specialized control circuits that require strict overcurrent protection.
Is Wadsworth still manufacturing new circuit breakers?
No, Wadsworth is a legacy brand and is no longer in business. Finding replacements requires sourcing original Wadsworth stock or using aftermarket UL-classified replacements, such as the Connecticut Electric UBIA series, specifically designed for Wadsworth Type A panels.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the A210NI is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing only overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include Ground Fault or Arc Fault circuitry.
What does the NI suffix in the A210NI catalog number indicate?
The NI suffix stands for Non-Interchangeable. This was a design feature in older panels to prevent installing a higher-amperage breaker in a slot intended for a lower-amperage circuit.
