Delivering 60 amps of thermal-magnetic protection, the Siemens Q36000S01 features a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip for externally activated remote tripping. This 3-pole plug-on circuit breaker requires four pole spaces for installation and mounts into standard Siemens load centers and panelboards. Rated at 10 kAIC at 240VAC, it provides reliable defense against overloads and short circuits. The unit is HACR rated and utilizes Insta-Wire connections for faster, more efficient setup.
What does the 00S01 suffix indicate on the Siemens Q36000S01?
The 00S01 suffix means this breaker comes with a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip. This feature allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via a 120V control signal, which is commonly used for emergency stops or automated shutdown systems.
How much panel space does the Siemens Q36000S01 require?
As a 3-pole Type QP miniature circuit breaker, it requires three standard 1-inch spaces in a compatible Siemens load center or panelboard.
How is the shunt trip wired on the Q36000S01?
The factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip includes pigtail leads that must be connected to your external 120V control circuit. When voltage is applied to these leads, the breaker will trip.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism protect the circuit?
The thermal component provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component offers instantaneous protection against severe short circuits, ensuring comprehensive safety for the connected wiring.
Can I use the Q36000S01 to replace older ITE or Murray breakers?
Yes, Siemens Type QP breakers are the officially UL-listed direct replacements for obsolete Murray Type MP and ITE Type EQ-P circuit breakers. Always verify that your specific panel's wiring diagram lists Type QP breakers as acceptable.
What is the operating temperature rating for the Siemens Q36000S01?
This breaker is calibrated for a standard operating temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Can I use aluminum wire with the Q36000S01?
Yes, the lugs on this breaker are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. Ensure you use the correct torque specifications and apply an approved oxide inhibitor when terminating aluminum wire.
What frequency is the Q36000S01 rated for?
This Siemens QP breaker is designed for use on standard 50/60 Hz alternating current systems.
