What this switch is and who it serves
This Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems toggle switch is a 4-way light switch rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC. It is designed for electricians and facility managers who need to control a single lighting circuit from three or more locations in commercial or residential wiring systems. The ivory finish matches standard wall plates and the maintained contact function keeps the circuit in its last position until toggled again.
Thermals noise and power draw
The switch carries a 1 hp horsepower rating and uses large brass binding head screws with deep slots for secure screw-terminal connections. Back and side wiring methods are supported with a strip gauge that helps achieve accurate wire preparation. Shatter-resistant, crack-resistant and impact-resistant construction protects the mechanism from jobsite abuse while the UL listing confirms it meets the applicable safety standard for this device class.
What this replaces and when the upgrade makes sense
This unit replaces an existing 4-way toggle switch in a multi-location lighting circuit when the old device shows wear, fails to maintain contact or cannot accept the required wire gauge. The upgrade is worth it when the installation calls for 10 AWG to 14 AWG conductors and a 20 A rating at 120/277 V AC, ensuring the new switch matches the circuit specifications without requiring a change to the wiring layout.

Questions about this item
How do I wire the 4-way toggle switch and which step is commonly missed?
Connect travelers to the brass screws and line or load to the black screw; the step often missed is using the strip gauge to strip 14 to 10 AWG wire to the correct length before tightening the large brass binding-head screws.
What maintenance or replacement will this 20 A 120/277 V switch need over time?
The toggle mechanism and screw terminals are shatter, crack and impact resistant, so no routine maintenance is required; replace the unit only if the toggle feels loose or the screw terminals no longer clamp the wire securely.
What is the first limit reached when the switch runs continuously at full 20 A load?
The 1 hp motor rating and 20 A current rating define the thermal limit; sustained loads above 20 A or motors exceeding 1 hp will cause the switch to overheat before any other parameter is reached.
