⚡ What it does
This breaker:
- Provides two independent 120V branch circuits
- Fits into one standard breaker slot in compatible Homeline panels
- Protects each circuit separately from overload and short circuits
- Saves panel space when additional circuits are needed
Schneider identifies it as a tandem breaker with one 15A pole and one 20A pole in a single space.
🏠 Typical uses
- Adding circuits when panel space is limited
- Splitting one panel slot into two branch circuits
- Residential remodels / retrofits
- Small subpanels nearing capacity
🧠 Simple explanation
This is a space-saving breaker that gives you one 15-amp circuit and one 20-amp circuit while only taking up one slot in the panel.
🔧 Key takeaway
- Not a 240V breaker
- Not handle-tied internally for shared trip
- It is two separate 120V breakers in one space
- Must be used only in Homeline panels approved for tandem breakers
