Product FAQs
7 answers
Which load centers and panelboards are compatible with the Siemens Q120HH?
This plug-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1 panelboards as well as Siemens PL and ES series load centers.
What does the HH in the Q120HH catalog number indicate?
The HH designates a high interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 120V. This provides a higher fault current rating compared to standard 10kAIC or 22kAIC breakers in the Siemens QP family.
Is the Siemens Q120HH rated for switching duty and HVAC equipment?
Yes, this 20A breaker is both SWD (Switching Duty) and HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) rated. It is suitable for switching 120V fluorescent lighting loads and protecting HVAC motor circuits.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the Q120HH?
The terminals accept 14 AWG to 6 AWG copper or aluminum wiring. The breaker also features Insta-Wire connectors to help speed up the installation process.
Can the Q120HH be used to replace a standard Q120 breaker?
Yes, the Q120HH shares the same physical dimensions and plug-on mounting as the standard Q120. It can be used as a direct replacement when a higher 65kAIC interrupting capacity is required by the electrical system.
Does the Q120HH require a bolted connection to the busbar?
No, it features a plug-on mounting style. It snaps directly onto the busbar of compatible Siemens load centers and panelboards without the need for bolted connections.
What type of trip mechanism does the Q120HH utilize?
It uses a fixed thermal magnetic trip mechanism. This provides a long-time response for thermal overloads and an instantaneous response for short circuits.
