Questions & Answers
Really it can't take 12ga wire (talking about the 10amp breaker)?

Can this be a substitite for a solar disconnect? Is it resetable?
Asked by Mx6 March 3, 2021No, this would not be for use on the DC side of the inverter. Type QP breakers do not have DC ratings.

Specs indicate 14 - 6 gauge wire. Has anyone used a 6 gauge wire on this breaker? And does it eas...
Asked by ABBY February 26, 2021Our apologies. The listed #14-6 AWG wire range is an error. The correct range is #14-8 AWG as listed on the breaker label.
HI . Need a replacement for my discontinued Westinghouse breaker. It was a 60 amp double pole the...
Asked by PatUrbani December 4, 2020Yes, this is a great replacement, I installed it myself in 15 minutes.
Is this 240-Volt?
Asked by Mark October 17, 2020What information are you seeking? If you're trying to find out if Siemens breakers will fit in Murray panels, the answer is Yes they will. Siemens owns Murray products which are no longer available so any replacement parts will be branded, Siemens.
Is this breaker two different 15 amp breakers? Meaning for each switch? I have a 15amp breaker that allows me to switch one off and keep the other on?
Asked by Pistol77 October 1, 2020Simens/Sparky.. I went into the Home Depot and this particular breaker is not mine and I asked the retired licensed electrician on site.. He said that is the bottom half does not have wire attached, I can use it.. I checked and there is nothing connected. When I switch it of course, no impact because nothing is connected. It doesn't affect the top connection either.
What is the terminal rating of this breaker. It says AL-Cu 75C wire, that means wire should be 75...
Asked by Designer September 24, 2020The terminal rating is based on the conductor which would be 75C. 60C or 75C wire can be used and sized per NEC Table 310.15(B)(16). 90C wire can be used but must be sized for 75C ampacity per the same table.
I was installing breaker and the plastic clips broke now it won't stay , it falls off because it has nothing to attached
Asked by Kaseway July 28, 2020If the plastic hook rail of the load center is broken replacement of the complete interior is required, or perhaps even the load center itself depending on availability. Please send a request to productselection.us@siemens.com with your load center catalog number from the label to check availability. If the plastic housing of the breaker is broken the breaker must be replaced.
Wire Gauge
Asked by Dick July 2, 2020Q230U is listed to accept #14 to #6 wire as shown on breaker label. Please confirm your label lists the same and contact our Technical Support Line at 1-800-333-7421. There may be another issue.
Customer Reviews
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.
