Providing a seamless fit for older Murray and Siemens panelboards, this 35A two-pole breaker delivers essential thermal-magnetic protection. The plug-on configuration eliminates the need for aftermarket adapters, making it an ideal choice for maintaining legacy residential and commercial electrical infrastructure. Now superseded by the Siemens Q235, this exact-match component maintains a 10kAIC rating at 120/240V.
Is the Murray MP235 still manufactured, or is there a direct replacement?
Siemens has phased out the Murray brand. The official, UL-approved replacement for the Murray MP235 is the Siemens Q235. Siemens issued substitution letters confirming Type QP breakers can legally replace Type MP-T breakers in legacy panels.
Which electrical panels are compatible with the MP235 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Murray and Siemens load centers that accept 1-inch plug-on breakers. Always verify compatibility by checking the wiring diagram label inside your panel door for accepted breaker types, such as Type MP-T or Type QP.
How many panel spaces does the MP235 require?
As a full-size, 2-pole breaker measuring 1 inch per pole, it requires two adjacent spaces on the panel bus.
What applications typically require a 35-amp, 2-pole breaker?
A 35A breaker is commonly used for specific 240V dedicated loads where a 30A breaker is insufficient and a 40A breaker exceeds the equipment maximum overcurrent protection (MOCP) rating. This often includes specific HVAC units, heat pumps, and motors.
Is the MP235 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, standard Murray MP-T and Siemens QP breakers are HACR rated, making them suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 35A maximum overcurrent protection device.
Does the MP235 provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No. The MP235 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include ground-fault or arc-fault circuitry.
