Light Archon Citadel 20A Circuit Breaker Platform

Light Archon Citadel breakers put the full 20 A branch schedule on one platform in the industry-standard 1 in. plug-on format. Configurations run single-pole, tandem two-circuit, and 2-pole; protection levels run from standard thermal magnetic units through AFCI, GFCI, and dual function AF/GF electronics, with the AFCI and dual function levels offered in pigtail or plug-on neutral connection to match the panel. Every unit is quote-first: add it to your quote list and the trade desk confirms panel fit before release.

Standard, tandem, and 2-pole units use a thermal magnetic trip rated 120/240V; the tandem fits two 20 A circuits in one pole space where the panel label permits, and the 2-pole unit serves 240V loads across two spaces. AFCI units add combination arc fault protection for dwelling living areas, GFCI units add Class A ground fault protection, and dual function units combine both behind a single reset. Plug-on neutral versions land the neutral through the mounting foot on panels with a plug-on neutral bus, eliminating the pigtail and keeping gutter space clear. Interrupt rating is 10 kA across the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What panels does this fit?
It fits Light Archon LC series and industry-standard 1 in. bolt/plug-on load centers - verify panel compatibility at quote review.

Pigtail or plug-on neutral, which do I pick?
Match the panel. Load centers with a plug-on neutral bus take the plug-on neutral versions and skip the pigtail entirely; any other compatible 1 in. plug-on panel takes the pigtail versions. The trade desk checks this against your panel at quote review.

Can I use the tandem unit anywhere in the panel?
No. Tandem units belong only in slots the panel label lists as tandem-permitted. The panel schedule is checked at quote review.

Which protection level do I need?
Standard units cover general branch circuits. The NEC calls for AFCI protection in most dwelling living areas, GFCI protection in wet and damp locations, and dual function units where one circuit needs both. Your electrician and the trade desk confirm the schedule at quote review.

How is this sold?
