I can't tell for sure, but I don't think these breakers are designed
for 20A AC loads.

Even if this were a code-compliant device, it would be unsafe to use
this with any less than 120A overload protection at the main panel and
1/0 AWG copper conductors.

WRONG! Size the 'upstream' wiring to match whatever size of breaker
is used to feed the outlet panel. IF smaller than 120A, then the upstream
breaker will trip *before* the individual breakers. This is perfectly
acceptable. It just means that you cannot use all the sub-circuits to
maximum capacity simultaneously. Which *is* the 'normal' state of affairs.

Furthermore, 120A only needs #2 wire.

*Each* of those 20A receptacles can draw up
to 20A for a total of 120A.

Do you work for Microsoft Tech Support? This is eerily reminiscent of their
responses -- "technically accurate, but utterly meaningless in application".

It is entirely allowable to have sub-strings with their own breakers, where
the aggregate maximum load exceeds the rating of the feedline/breaker.

If you add up the individual breakers in a typical 'home' panel, you'll find
that they often total _more_ than 150% of the main breaker rating, just for
one example. Heck, the electric stove, electric clothes dryer, and the
air-conditioner compressor will often equal the main breaker all by themselves.
Not counting the 8-10 (or more) other circuits in the house.
