BRKR 15/15A 1P 120V 10K QT

🧾 What the label means:

• 15/15A → Two separate 15-amp circuits in one breaker body
• 1P (1 pole) → Fits one panel space (but contains 2 breakers internally)
• 120V → Each circuit is standard 120-volt
• 10K → 10,000 amp interrupt rating (fault protection capacity)
• QT → Siemens tandem / duplex breaker style

⚙️ What it actually does:

This breaker gives you:

• Two independent 120V 15A circuits
• In the space of one breaker slot
• Each side protects its own circuit separately

It is commonly called:

• Duplex breaker
• Tandem breaker
• “Cheater” breaker (slang in the field)

🔧 Typical uses:

• Extra branch circuits when panel space is full
• Lighting circuits
• Small receptacle circuits
• Remodel/add-on wiring where panel capacity is tight

⚠️ Important note:

This is NOT a 240V breaker.
Even though it has two handles, it does not tie the two sides together, so:

• Each 15A leg is independent
• Cannot be used for 240V loads
