    Q:Can I use this in Bryant Main Disconnect Panel? Will the warranty cover the use in a Bryant main disconnect panel ?

    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Bryant panels were absorbed by Eaton/Cutler Hammer you would have to call them to see what breakers are UL listed to put in their panel. The Siemens QSA SPD breakers are only listed for use in Siemens equipment that lists Siemens type QP breakers as acceptable for use.

            Q:Having trouble finding the product manual, none of the posted links seem to work any more. Can anyone confirm if 1) the two breakers can be left empty, and 2) if they are empty, can the breakers be in the off position and still provide surge protection?
            by|Jul 7, 2022
            1 Answer
            Answer This Question

            A:  You can install without connecting any of your existing 20A circuits, but it is advised that you do, so you know protection was lost. The QSA has LEDs that signal the poles are energized and working.

              Q:Will this help protect components in kitchen appliances? I recently had a sensor switch go bad in the dishwasher and a burned out igniter in the oven. The appliances are only 4 years old and my appliance repairmen said maybe from a recent surge.

              1 Answer
              Answer This Question

              A:  These breakers should be used for circuit protection of frequently used household or facility circuits because the lights and devices connected to these circuits provide an effective indication that surge protection is being provided.

                Q:Do these breakers expire or need replaced after a certain amount of time, like smoke detectors?

                1 Answer
                Answer This Question

                A:  My understanding is they are good till they take a hit. Then the green light goes off or goes red and it’s replacement time.
