Product FAQs
9 answers
What does the "HH" in the Q260HH catalog number indicate?
The "HH" suffix designates a high interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 240V. For comparison, the standard Q260 is rated at 10kAIC, and the Q260H is rated at 22kAIC.
Which load centers are compatible with the Siemens Q260HH?
This Type QP breaker is designed for plug-on installation in Siemens PL, ES, and EQ series load centers, as well as compatible Siemens panelboards.
Can the Q260HH replace older Murray circuit breakers?
Yes. Siemens Type QP breakers are UL listed to replace Murray MP-T series breakers, including the discontinued Murray MP260HH, in Murray Rock Solid load centers manufactured after January 2002.
How much panel space does the Q260HH require?
As a standard 2-pole Type QP breaker, it requires two 1-inch spaces, occupying a total of 2 inches on the panel bus bar.
Is the Siemens Q260HH suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads.
Can I install this Siemens QP breaker in a Square D or Eaton panel?
No. Siemens Type QP breakers are not interchangeable with Square D or Eaton panels. They must only be installed in UL-approved Siemens or Murray enclosures to maintain panel certifications and prevent fire hazards.
What type of wire can be used with the Q260HH lugs?
The terminal lugs accept both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 6 AWG to 4 AWG. When terminating aluminum wire, ensure an approved joint compound is applied to prevent oxidation.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the Q260HH is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker that provides long-time and instantaneous trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include ground fault or arc fault capabilities.
What does the LI trip function code mean on the Q260HH?
LI stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The thermal long-time element protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic instantaneous element provides immediate tripping during severe short circuits.
