Description

Designed to support heavy residential loads, the Siemens MP250 provides 50 amps of thermal-magnetic protection. This two-pole breaker is ideal for dedicated 240V circuits powering electric ranges or large HVAC units. As a dedicated legacy replacement, it installs into existing Murray and Siemens load centers. It serves as a direct substitute for Q250 and QP250 models, allowing users to maintain older panels safely. Rated at 10kAIC, this plug-on breaker features a common trip mechanism.

Product FAQs

4 answers
What is the current Siemens equivalent to the Murray MP250?

Siemens acquired Murray and phased out the Murray brand name. The Siemens Q250 (Type QP) is the officially UL-listed, direct replacement for the Murray MP250 (Type MP-T).

Are Murray MP-T and Siemens QP breakers interchangeable?

Yes. Siemens and Murray plug-on breakers share the same physical design. Siemens has issued official substitution letters confirming that Type QP breakers are UL-listed replacements for Type MP-T breakers in compatible load centers.

Is the MP250 suitable for air conditioning and refrigeration loads?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is approved for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits that require a 50-amp, 240-volt thermal-magnetic breaker.

Does this breaker require a hold-down kit if used as a back-fed main?

Yes. If you are installing the MP250 as a back-fed main breaker in a subpanel or generator interlock setup, the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires a compatible hold-down retainer clip to secure the plug-on breaker to the bus bar.
