Designed to maximize enclosure capacity, the Siemens Q1515 tandem breaker supplies two independent 15A circuits from a single pole footprint. It is SWD and HACR rated, making it suitable for switching fluorescent lighting and HVAC equipment. This plug-on unit features Circuit Total Limiting (CTL) rejection, ensuring it only installs into panels approved for tandems. It fits Siemens and Murray load centers, seamlessly replacing the MP1515. The breaker delivers a 10kAIC rating at 120/240VAC.

Product FAQs
5 answers
How many panel spaces does the Q1515 require?
This tandem breaker installs into a single 1-inch panel space while providing two independent 15-amp circuits.
Can the Q1515 tandem breaker be used to power a 240V load?
No. Both poles of this tandem breaker connect to the same bus stab, providing two separate 120V circuits on the same phase. To power a 240V load, you need a standard 2-pole breaker that connects across two alternating bus stabs.
Will this breaker fit into any slot in my Siemens load center?
The Q1515 is a CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) breaker, which means it features a rejection clip. It will only physically seat into slots specifically notched to accept tandem breakers within CTL-compliant load centers.
What is the non-CTL equivalent for older ITE or Siemens panels?
If you have an older, pre-1968 non-CTL load center, you will need the Siemens Q1515NC. That version lacks the rejection clip found on this standard Q1515 model, allowing it to fit into older panel busbar designs.
Does the Q1515 provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing short-circuit and overload protection. It does not include Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) functionality.
