Handling up to 20 amps of current, the Siemens MP120 delivers robust thermal-magnetic protection for residential applications. This single-pole plug-on component is SWD rated for switching fluorescent lighting loads. It installs into classic Murray enclosures, providing a safe maintenance solution for older systems. When a complete panel upgrade occurs, the Q120 serves as the modern replacement. A 10kAIC interrupt rating ensures reliable performance during fault conditions.
Is the Murray MP120 interchangeable with Siemens breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired Murray and phased out the Murray brand. The Siemens Q120 (Type QP) is the direct, UL-listed replacement for the Murray MP120 (Type MP-T), and they are interchangeable in compatible Siemens and Murray load centers.
What type of breaker is the MP120?
The MP120 is a Type MP-T standard 1-inch plug-on circuit breaker. It is designed for use in Murray and Siemens load centers that accept Type MP-T or Type QP branch breakers.
What does the LI trip function on this breaker indicate?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. This means the breaker uses standard thermal-magnetic technology to protect against both gradual overloads (Long-Time) and sudden short circuits (Instantaneous).
Is the MP120 breaker SWD rated?
Yes, standard 15A and 20A Type MP-T breakers like the MP120 are SWD (Switching Duty) rated, meaning they are approved for switching 120V fluorescent lighting loads on and off on a regular basis.
Is the MP120 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific circuit protection.
Can I use the MP120 in a load center from a different manufacturer?
No. The MP120 is UL listed specifically for use in compatible Murray and Siemens load centers. Installing it in panels from other brands violates UL listings and National Electrical Code requirements.
Does this breaker require a neutral connection?
No, the MP120 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker and does not require a pigtail or plug-on neutral connection. It snaps directly onto the bus bar of the load center.
