Description

Part of the QT series, the Siemens P2030 is a space-saving tandem breaker designed for residential applications. It provides one 20-amp and one 30-amp circuit within a single pole space, effectively doubling the wiring capacity of that slot. This plug-on unit mounts into Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate load centers. It also serves as an exact substitute for the MP2030. Featuring thermal-magnetic trip technology, it delivers reliable overload and short-circuit protection with a 10kAIC rating.

Product FAQs

6 answers
Which load centers are compatible with this tandem circuit breaker?

It is designed for installation in Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate series load centers. Check your panel label to confirm it accepts Type QT tandem breakers before installation.

Can this breaker be used in older ITE or Gould load centers?

Yes, Siemens QT breakers are backward compatible with many older ITE and Gould panels that accept tandem breakers. Always verify the specific panel model against the Siemens compatibility chart to ensure code compliance.

How does a tandem configuration benefit a panel installation?

A tandem breaker houses two independent circuits in the space of a single one-inch breaker slot. This specific model provides one 20 amp and one 30 amp circuit, allowing you to add capacity to a crowded panel without requiring a full panel upgrade.

Are tandem breakers allowed in all panel slots?

No. Many load centers restrict tandem breakers to specific slots, which are indicated on the panel wiring diagram. Installing a tandem breaker in a non-approved slot can violate electrical codes and compromise safety.

Is the QT series interchangeable with standard QP breakers?

While they belong to the same product family, QT tandem breakers and standard QP breakers are not universally interchangeable. QT breakers require a panel slot specifically designed to accept tandem configurations, whereas QP breakers are full size and fit standard slots.

Is this breaker suitable for HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 20 amp or 30 amp circuit.
