Built for residential and light commercial applications, the Q150 provides 50 amps of thermal-magnetic protection for 120V circuits. This single-pole breaker features an easy-to-install plug-on design that saves time during panel upgrades or new construction. It mounts into Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, EQG, PL, and ES series load centers, and serves as a direct replacement for legacy Murray MP150 breakers. Rated at 10 kAIC, it includes standard long-time and instantaneous trip functions.
Which load centers are compatible with the Siemens Q150?
The Q150 is a Type QP breaker designed for use in Siemens PL, ES, EQ, and Ultimate series load centers. It is also backward compatible with older ITE and Gould panels that specify Type QP breakers.
Can the Siemens Q150 replace a Murray MP150 breaker?
Yes. Siemens acquired and phased out the Murray brand. Siemens Type QP breakers, including the Q150, are the official, UL-listed direct replacements for Murray Type MP-T breakers such as the MP150.
Is the Siemens Q150 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires HACR circuit protection.
What is the recommended lug torque for the Q150?
For the accepted 8-6 AWG copper or 8-4 AWG aluminum conductors, the standard torque rating is 40 lb-in for 8 AWG wire and 45 lb-in for 6 to 4 AWG wire. Always verify the exact torque specifications printed directly on the breaker label before installation.
Can I use fine stranded wire with the Q150 breaker?
No. The mechanical lugs on Siemens QP breakers are not approved for use with fine stranded wire. Standard stranded building wire, such as THHN, is acceptable.
Does the Q150 include the Insta-Wire feature?
Yes. Siemens Type QP breakers feature Insta-Wire connectors. The terminal screws come backed out and ready for wire insertion straight out of the box to reduce installation time.
