Siemens MP23015 miniature circuit breaker has 15/30A amperage, 4 poles, 120/240VAC voltage and a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC. This MP series breaker features a triplex circuit arrangement, plug-on mounting and overcurrent protection. It occupies 2 panel spaces and accepts copper or aluminum conductors, with a maximum wire size of 6 AWG and minimum sizes of 14 AWG (Cu) and 12 AWG (Al).
How should I use the 15/30A rating when selecting this breaker?
The Siemens MP23015 has 15/30A amperage ratings. Match the applicable rating to the circuit's load and conductor ampacity when selecting overcurrent protection.
What electrical system should I select this breaker for?
This breaker is rated for 1-phase, 120/240VAC applications. Match the system voltage and phase to these ratings when selecting it.
How does the 10kA interrupting rating affect selection?
The interrupting rating is 10kA at 120/240VAC. The available fault current at the installation point must not exceed that rating.
What copper and aluminum conductor sizes can I terminate?
The load-side lug accepts copper conductors from 14 AWG through 6 AWG and aluminum conductors from 12 AWG through 6 AWG. Use the range for the conductor material you are installing, while sizing the conductor for the circuit load and protection.
What mounting method and space requirement should I plan for?
This breaker uses plug-on mounting and occupies 2 spaces. Plan the installation layout around that mounting method and space requirement.
How does the trip mechanism work, and can I adjust it?
The thermal-magnetic mechanism provides long-time response to sustained overcurrent and instantaneous response to high fault current. Trip settings are fixed, so select the required amperage rating rather than planning to adjust the trip response.
Can I use the breaker to switch fluorescent lighting loads?
The SWD marking indicates suitability for switching fluorescent lighting loads. Use this marking as a selection criterion when the breaker will also perform that switching function.
What does the HACR marking mean for equipment protection?
HACR refers to heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration applications. Use the marking when selecting overcurrent protection for equipment that calls for a HACR breaker.
