The Q21520CTNC is a reliable Schneider Electric 4-Pole Circuit Breaker designed for 15-20A 120V applications. Perfect for commercial and industrial use, this breaker ensures optimal performance and safety in your electrical systems. Its compact design makes it easy to install, while the sturdy construction guarantees long-lasting durability for your operational needs.
The Siemens Q21520CTNC is a Q-frame tandem (CTL) plug-in breaker — a dual-circuit, 4-pole unit providing 15A and 20A at 120V with a 10kA interrupt rating. As a Q-series plug-in, it is designed to fit Siemens/ITE EQ, ES, PL, and PN loadcentres and panelboards that accept Q-frame plug-in breakers and are CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) approved for tandem breakers — not all spaces in every panel will accept a tandem device. Send us your panel model and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) tandem breakers like the Q21520CTNC allow two circuits to share a single panel slot — but only in designated "tandem-ready" spaces. Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and PN loadcentres typically have a limited number of slots approved for tandems, identified by markings in the panel directory or on the bus. Check your panel's label or door chart, or send us your panel model and we'll confirm whether and where this breaker can be installed.
It works for both. As a current-production Siemens Q-series tandem, it can be used in new work where an approved panel slot is available, or as a direct drop-in replacement for a worn or tripped Q21520CTNC in an existing Siemens/ITE loadcentre. Verify the 10kA interrupt rating meets or exceeds your panel's available fault current (AFC) before installation — a licensed electrician can confirm this.
No. The Q21520CTNC is rated at 120V and is a tandem (twin) design that provides two separate 120V single-pole circuits (one at 15A, one at 20A) from a single panel slot — it is not a 240V double-pole breaker. If you need a 240V two-pole breaker, a different Q-frame device would be required. Contact our team and we'll help you find the right part.
