Siemens offers a wide array of thermal-magnetic circuit breakers that are the key element for overload and short-circuit protection of your home's electrical system. To provide additional protection Siemens offers circuit breakers to protect against severe electrical shock or electrocution, mitigate the risk of electrical fires and protect against damaging surges and Voltage spikes. Circuit breakers are intended for switching and protection of your home's wiring from high temperatures caused by excess current higher than the rating of the wire. While thermal-magnetic circuit breakers are the key element for overload and short-circuit protection of your electrical system, there are potentially dangerous conditions that do not involve over current.

Q:Hi Siemens, Why are no pressure plates under the connection screws are provided in this double pole QP breaker? Pressure plates are good to hold and grip the hot wires, only screws may not provide a better connection, I got a bad piece or its normal?

1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  The QP frame breaker has a standard screw to tighten lug, with no "pressure plates" or spring compression options.

        Q:Will this work fine on my 8 AWG wired Frigidaire 30 Electric Oven? Meaning my power draw won't need something higher than 40 amps usually?
        by|Nov 8, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  We cannot advise which breakers you will need for your application. Siemens QP frame breakers are intended for installation in Siemens load centers that list QP frames as approved for installation. You will need to contact a certified electrician to confirm which breaker is best suited for your application and load center.

          Perfect fit. We moved a mobile home office to a different location, inside our plant area. At the old location the power supply for the A/C condenser unit was on the power pole for the mobile home. The new location required us to run a 460 v. 3 phase power to the side of the mobile home to a step down 240v/120v. transformer, then wire the power supply to the breaker box in the mobile home. We had to match the breakers in the Siemens box with a Siemens breaker. Easy installation and working well.

          Hello Ray,
          This has more to do with a shipping error (which can happen sometimes) rather than actual product quality. You can contact the Home Depot store you purchased the breaker from and they will help with a replacement. SIEMENS
