Lithonia Lighting OC248012 Two Pole Circuit Breaker

The Lithonia Lighting OC248012 is a two-pole circuit breaker rated for 20 amperes, engineered to interrupt current on two conductors in a circuit when an overload or fault occurs, providing immediate protection for wiring and connected devices. Its dual-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnection of both hot paths, a critical feature for protecting 240-volt circuits and multi-wire branch circuits in many residential and light commercial electrical systems, helping maintain safety even when one conductor is compromised. Identified by the OC248012 part number, this component is intended to be installed within standard electrical distribution panels to safeguard the circuit from overcurrent conditions. By limiting the flow of electricity during faults, it helps prevent insulation damage, reduces the risk of overheating, and supports predictable circuit behavior, contributing to the overall reliability of the electrical system in which it is deployed. As a Lithonia Lighting product, OC248012 represents a purpose-built, durable protection device designed to meet common panel configurations and support long-term safe operation in typical residential and light commercial installations.
