Product FAQs

5 answers
Can I install the Siemens MP240 in a standard Siemens load center?

The MP240 is specifically UL listed for Murray load centers. For standard Siemens panels, you must use the equivalent QP series breaker, such as the Q240, unless your specific panel label explicitly permits MP-T frame breakers.

Is the Siemens MP240 a direct replacement for older Murray MP240 breakers?

Yes. Siemens acquired the Murray brand and continues to manufacture the MP series. The Siemens MP240 is the exact, UL listed replacement for the legacy Murray MP240.

What is the difference between the Siemens MP240 and Q240?

Both are 40A, 2-pole breakers manufactured by Siemens, but they have different UL listings. The MP240 (MP-T frame) is listed for Murray panels, while the Q240 (QP frame) is listed for Siemens panels. You must install the breaker type specified on your load center's wiring diagram.

Is the MP240 circuit breaker HACR rated?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires HACR circuit protection.

Are the terminals on the MP240 rated for aluminum conductors?

Yes, the lugs on this breaker accept both copper and aluminum wire. When using aluminum conductors, ensure the wire is sized correctly and apply a listed joint compound to prevent oxidation.
