Designed for remote tripping applications, the Siemens Q35000S01 is a 3-pole, 50A miniature circuit breaker. It features a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip, allowing the circuit to be opened from a remote location for emergency shutdown or control purposes. This thermal-magnetic breaker installs into Siemens PL series load centers and P1 panelboards. It utilizes a standard plug-on mounting style for quick integration. The unit provides a 10kAIC rating at 240V and is fully HACR rated.
What does the 00S01 suffix in the part number indicate?
The 00S01 suffix designates that this circuit breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip. This integrated accessory allows the breaker to be intentionally tripped from a remote location using a 120V control signal.
How many panel spaces does the Q35000S01 require for installation?
This breaker requires four standard 1-inch spaces in a load center or panelboard. The three-pole breaker block occupies three spaces, while the factory-installed shunt trip coil requires one additional space.
Can I use this Siemens breaker to replace an older ITE unit?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE and continues to manufacture their breaker lines. The Siemens Q35000S01 serves as a direct replacement for the obsolete ITE Q35000S01 catalog number.
What are common safety applications for the shunt trip feature?
The shunt trip is typically wired to emergency stop buttons, fire alarm control panels, or specialized equipment safety interlocks. When activated, the 120V control circuit energizes the coil, instantly forcing the breaker to open and disconnect power.
Does the shunt trip coil require its own power source?
Yes, the integrated 120V AC shunt trip coil must be wired to an external power source and switching device. The breaker will only trip remotely when a 120V signal is actively applied to the control circuit.
Can I field-install a shunt trip onto a standard Siemens QP breaker?
No, the internal shunt trip mechanism must be factory-installed by Siemens to maintain UL listing and proper calibration. The Q35000S01 arrives with the 120V shunt trip already integrated and sealed.
Are auxiliary switch contacts included with this model?
No, the 00S01 suffix only indicates the presence of a 120V shunt trip coil. It does not include auxiliary switches or bell alarm contacts for remote breaker status monitoring.
Does the shunt trip module provide undervoltage protection?
No, a shunt trip only opens the breaker when an external control voltage is actively applied. It does not provide undervoltage release (UVR) functions, which trip a breaker when voltage drops or is lost.
