QB1020CAF | Eaton QB AFCI Circuit Breaker

The QB1020CAF is an AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) circuit breaker manufactured by Eaton. Designed as a bolt-on breaker, it is engineered to provide enhanced safety by detecting and mitigating potentially hazardous arc faults. This specific model is configured as a single pole breaker with a current rating of 20A, making it suitable for protecting circuits with moderate electrical loads. With an interrupt rating of 10kAIC (kiloampere interrupting capacity), it is capable of safely interrupting fault currents up to 10,000 amperes, ensuring reliable performance even under adverse conditions. 

As an AFCI breaker, the QB1020CAF incorporates advanced technology to detect arcs that may occur due to damaged wiring, loose connections, or other electrical faults. When an arc fault is detected, the breaker swiftly interrupts the circuit, helping to prevent fires and other safety hazards. This proactive approach to electrical safety can provide peace of mind to homeowners, contractors, and building occupants, particularly in residential and commercial settings where electrical fires pose a significant risk. 

The bolt-on design of the QB1020CAF allows for secure installation onto compatible electrical panels or load centers, ensuring a reliable connection to the electrical system. This type of connection is commonly used in applications where a more robust attachment method is required to withstand the rigors of electrical operation.
