Hubbell 20 A 120/277 V toggle dimmer
This illuminated single-pole switch handles 20 A at 120/277 V AC and carries a 1 hp motor rating. The ivory toggle provides visible status in low light. It is suited for residential or light-commercial lighting circuits that require maintained switching.
Back and side wiring with screw terminals
The device accepts 14 AWG to 10 AWG conductors via back-wire or side-wire entries secured by screw terminals. Ensure the power is off before installation and tighten each terminal to the manufacturer's torque value. A common error is mixing wire gauges under one screw, which can lead to loose connections.
20 A capacity with 1 hp motor load
The switch comfortably controls incandescent, LED or fluorescent lighting loads up to its 20 A rating and handles motor loads up to 1 hp. It is not designed for loads exceeding 20 A or for three-way and four-way switching configurations. For multi-location control or higher current circuits, a different switch type is required.
