When would a tandem single poll breaker be required. I thought tandem breaker were for 240 volt appliances
Hi, the single pole tandem breaker is designed to save space in the panel. It allows you to run two 120V circuits from a single breaker, while only occupying one slot in the panel. If you have further questions, please call our technical support team at 877-386-2273 Opt. 2 Opt. 3 Opt. 1.
How to know if I should use a CTL or non CTL on a 100amp Bryant circuit panel
Hi, the publication sticker on the panel should tell you what style breaker the panel is designed to accept. You could also look at the bus stab on the panel and see if it is a full stab (non-CTL) or a notched stab (CTL). If you have further questions, please call our technical support team at 877-386-2273 Opt. 2 Opt. 3 Opt. 1.
1> What does ’NON-CTL’ mean? 2> How deep is the slot on the top edge of the breaker where the connection to the breaker panel’s buss bar is made. In other words, will the breaker seat in a panel which has a bussbar connection 1/2 to 3/4 inch tall?
Hello, a Non-CTL breaker does not have rejection tabs and is compatible with BR and BRP loadcenters. If you need further assistance, please contact our technical support team at 877-386-2273, select options 2, 3, and 1, or email TRC@Eaton.com.
