Designed to maximize residential panel space, the Siemens Q22050CT2 quadplex breaker delivers a 20A and a 50A two-pole circuit in a compact two-pole footprint. This plug-on CTL breaker features a rejection clip and mounts into modern Siemens and Murray load centers. It also serves as a direct replacement for the discontinued Murray MP22050CT2. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240V, it provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection.
Can I install the Q22050CT2 in any Siemens load center?
No. The Q22050CT2 is a Circuit Total Limiting (CTL) breaker equipped with a rejection clip. It can only be installed in Siemens or Murray load centers specifically notched to accept tandem or quadplex breakers.
How are the 20A and 50A circuits configured on this quad breaker?
The Q22050CT2 features a 50A double-pole circuit on the inner two positions and a 20A double-pole circuit on the outer two positions.
Are the wire lugs the same size for both the 20A and 50A circuits?
No. The outer 20A poles accept 14-6 AWG copper or 12-6 AWG aluminum wire, while the inner 50A poles require larger 8-6 AWG copper or 8-4 AWG aluminum wire.
Do the 240V circuits on the Q22050CT2 feature common trip?
Yes. Both the inner 50A and outer 20A double-pole circuits have internal common trip mechanisms. If one leg of either 240V circuit experiences a fault, both legs of that specific circuit will trip simultaneously.
Can this breaker be used to replace older Murray quad breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired Murray, and the Q22050CT2 is UL listed as a direct replacement for discontinued Murray 20/50A quad breakers, such as the MP22050CT2.
How much panel space does the Q22050CT2 require?
This quadplex breaker provides two independent 240V circuits but only requires two standard 1-inch panel spaces, maximizing capacity in your load center.
