Product FAQs

7 answers
What load centers are compatible with the Siemens Q22040CT?

The Q22040CT is a Type QT breaker designed for use in Siemens CTL load centers and Murray load centers that accept half-inch frame breakers. It is not compatible with non-CTL panels.

Can the Siemens Q22040CT replace older Murray breakers?

Yes, this breaker is a direct replacement for the obsolete Murray MP22040CT triplex breaker. Siemens has cross-listed Type QT breakers for use in compatible Murray load centers.

How many panel spaces does the Q22040CT require?

This triplex breaker requires two standard 1-inch panel spaces to provide two 120V 20A single-pole circuits and one 240V 40A double-pole circuit.

How are the circuits arranged on the Q22040CT breaker?

The breaker features two 20A single-pole circuits on the outer positions for 120V loads, and one 40A double-pole circuit in the center for 240V loads.

What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the Q22040CT?

The 20A single-pole terminals accept 14-8 AWG copper or 12-8 AWG aluminum wire. The 40A double-pole terminals accept 8-6 AWG copper or 8-4 AWG aluminum wire.

Are the 20A single-pole circuits on the Q22040CT SWD rated?

Yes, the 20A outer poles are SWD (Switching Duty) rated, which allows them to be used for switching 120V fluorescent lighting loads.

Does the 40A double-pole circuit feature a common trip?

Yes, the inner 40A double-pole circuit has an internal common trip mechanism. If an overload or short circuit occurs on either leg of the 240V circuit, both legs will trip simultaneously.
