Built for residential and commercial loads, this 30A breaker provides robust thermal-magnetic protection. The two-pole design is ideal for dedicated appliance circuits. The unit installs into Murray and Siemens load centers via a simple plug-on connection. The Siemens QP230 serves as the exact modern substitute for this component. With a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity, it ensures reliable safety. The common trip mechanism and HACR certification make it suitable for HVAC applications.
Is the Siemens MP230 the same as the Murray MP230?
Yes. Siemens acquired the Murray brand and manufactured these Type MP-T breakers. An older Murray MP230 and a Siemens MP230 are the exact same breaker. Siemens has since transitioned this line to the QP series, making the Siemens QP230 the modern UL-listed replacement.
Can I install the MP230 in a Siemens load center?
Yes, the MP230 is a plug-on breaker compatible with both Murray and Siemens load centers that accept Type MP-T or Type QP breakers. Always check your specific panel's wiring diagram to confirm accepted breaker types.
What wire size should be used with this 30-amp breaker?
While the MP230 lugs accept 14 to 6 AWG copper or 12 to 6 AWG aluminum wire, standard 30-amp branch circuits typically require 10 AWG copper wire. Always size your conductors according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for your specific application.
Is the MP230 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, the MP230 is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30-amp, 2-pole circuit.
Does the MP230 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The MP230 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker featuring long-time and instantaneous trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not contain GFCI or AFCI circuitry.
