Double-Pole Type QP Circuit Breaker, 20-100 Amp Plug-In Protection for Compatible Siemens Load Centers
Double-Pole Type QP Circuit Breaker, 20-100 Amp Plug-In Protection for Compatible Siemens Load Centers
This double-pole Type QP circuit breaker protects compatible electrical systems from overloads and short circuits while providing a coordinated two-pole disconnect. Its plug-in design and Insta-Wire feature support efficient replacement inside approved load centers, making it a practical choice when the original breaker specification calls for this exact family.
Choose listed ratings from 20A to 100A and one-, three- or six-unit packs. The documented Q230 configuration is a 30A, 240V, double-pole breaker with a 10,000 AIC interrupting rating. It is intended for compatible Siemens PL and ES series panels and other specifically approved Siemens, EQ, Ultimate, ITE or Gould load centers. Verify the panel label, circuit voltage, conductor capacity, pole count and required amperage before professional installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Q230 configuration provide?
The documented Q230 is a double-pole 30A breaker for a 240V circuit with a 10,000 AIC rating.
Will it fit a panel from another manufacturer?
Use it only where the panel label explicitly approves the selected Type QP breaker.
Which amperages are available?
Listed variants range from 20A through 100A, and the selected rating must match the circuit design.
Is this the same as a single-pole breaker?
No. This model uses two poles and must match a circuit and panel position designed for double-pole protection.
