Manufactured under the legacy Murray brand, the MP120EG is a 1-pole, 20A circuit breaker designed for equipment protection. It provides a 30mA trip threshold to prevent damage from line-to-ground faults on dedicated circuits. This plug-on breaker installs into standard Murray load centers. As a legacy component, it is officially replaced by the Siemens QE120, offering an exact fit for older panels. Rated at 10kAIC at 120VAC, it features a pigtail neutral and is HACR and SWD rated.
What is the direct Siemens replacement for the Murray MP120EG?
Siemens has phased out the Murray brand and replaced the MP120EG with the Siemens QE120. The QE120 is the exact functional equivalent and is UL listed for use in the same load centers.
What is the ground fault trip threshold for the MP120EG?
As a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker, it is designed to trip at a 30mA threshold. This differs from Class A GFCI breakers, which trip at a 5mA threshold for personnel protection.
What applications typically require a 30mA GFEP breaker?
GFEP breakers protect equipment from damaging ground faults in applications where a 5mA GFCI might experience nuisance tripping. Common uses include heat tracing cables, snow melting equipment, and specific industrial machinery.
How is the neutral connection wired on the MP120EG?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panel to power the internal ground fault circuitry.
Can the Murray MP120EG be installed in a Siemens load center?
Yes. The MP120EG is compatible with both Murray and Siemens load centers. Siemens has officially documented that Murray MP frame breakers are UL listed for use in Siemens panels.
