Description

Maintaining older electrical systems requires precise components, and the A220NI delivers exactly that for 20-amp circuits. This two-pole device provides essential overcurrent safety for homes equipped with vintage distribution equipment. Installation is straightforward since it fits perfectly into Wadsworth Type A enclosures. When original stock is unavailable, the UBIA220NI serves as the modern replacement option. The non-interchangeable trip mechanism ensures consistent performance.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What load centers are compatible with the Wadsworth A220NI?

This breaker is designed exclusively for legacy Wadsworth Type A load centers. It features a specific plug-on mounting clip that fits the busbar design of these vintage enclosures.

Is there a modern replacement available for the Wadsworth A220NI?

Yes. Because Wadsworth is a defunct legacy brand, Connecticut Electric manufactures a direct replacement under the catalog number UBIA220NI.

What does the "NI" designation mean on this Wadsworth breaker?

The "NI" stands for Non-Interchangeable. This indicates a Class CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) configuration, which prevents the installation of more breakers than the panelboard is rated to accept.

What wire gauge is accepted by the terminals on the A220NI?

The box lugs on this breaker accommodate wire sizes from 14 AWG to 6 AWG. Always verify the appropriate wire size for a 20-amp circuit based on current National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.

How does the trip mechanism function on the A220NI?

It utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip technology. The thermal element provides a long-time delay to prevent nuisance tripping on temporary overloads, while the magnetic element offers an instantaneous response to clear severe short circuits.

What types of loads are typically protected by a 20-amp, two-pole breaker?

In residential and light commercial applications, a 20-amp, 240-volt breaker is commonly installed for dedicated equipment such as baseboard heaters, well pumps, or small air conditioning units.

    Breaker panel

    I recently purchased a breaker panel cover. It arrived in a timely manner well packed and unharmed.

    The shipping was free so I was sceptical.

    All is well.
