Product FAQs
7 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the Q23050CT2 quadplex breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens PL, ES, EQ, and Ultimate series load centers that are rated to accept Type QT space-saving breakers.
How many panel spaces does the Q23050CT2 require?
Despite providing two independent 240V circuits, this quadplex breaker only requires two standard 1-inch panel spaces, making it ideal for maximizing capacity in crowded panels.
Does the Q23050CT2 feature a rejection clip?
Yes, this is a Class CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) breaker equipped with a rejection clip. It can only be installed in panel slots specifically notched to accept tandem or quadplex breakers.
What does the CT2 designation mean on this breaker?
The CT2 suffix indicates that both the inner and outer pairs of poles feature an internal common trip mechanism. If a fault occurs on one leg of either the 30A or 50A circuit, it will trip both poles of that respective circuit simultaneously.
Is the Siemens Q23050CT2 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30A or 50A 240V circuit.
Can the Q23050CT2 replace older Siemens quadplex breakers?
Yes, the Q23050CT2 serves as a direct replacement for the older Q23050 model. It upgrades the installation by providing common trip mechanisms on both the 30A and 50A circuits for safe 240V operation.
How are the circuits configured on this quadplex breaker?
The Q23050CT2 combines two independent double-pole circuits into a single unit. It provides one 30A 240V circuit and one 50A 240V circuit, allowing you to feed two separate 240V loads from just two panel spaces.
