Square D MG24131 10A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the Square D MG24131 10A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker—a precise, dependable protection device designed for MG-series panels. This 2-pole breaker disconnects both hot lines on 240-volt circuits, helping keep equipment safe and panels compliant.

• Part number: MG24131
• Current rating: 10 A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Brand: Square D

Why this MG24131 stands out:

• Two-pole protection ensures simultaneous disconnection of both hot conductors on a 240V circuit, which enhances safety for dual-polarity loads and multi-wire configurations.
• Compact, original-equipment compatibility with Square D panels that accept MG-series breakers, preserving panel integrity and performance.
• Specific 10-amp rating makes it ideal for protecting smaller 240V loads, such as control circuits or auxiliary equipment, without over-protecting and tripping nuisance loads.

Ideal use scenarios:

• Installing or replacing a 240V circuit in residential or light commercial panels that accept MG-series breakers.
• Protecting dedicated 240V equipment where reliable, dual-pole shutoff is required for safety and code compliance.
• Situations where a precise, original Square D component is preferred to maintain warranty, performance, and panel compatibility.

Practical tips for optimal performance:

• Confirm panel compatibility: ensure your enclosure supports MG-series breakers to guarantee correct fit and trip characteristics.
• Safety first: power down the main and verify absence of voltage before handling the breaker or panel.
• Match protection needs: use the 10A rating for appropriate 240V circuits to avoid nuisance trips while safeguarding connected equipment.
