Integrating remote tripping capabilities, this 40-amp device includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip mechanism for specialized control applications. The unit snaps into compatible Siemens load centers and panelboards, providing standard thermal-magnetic protection alongside its remote-open function. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240V, it utilizes Insta-Wire technology to accelerate the wiring process while meeting strict UL 489 standards for commercial and industrial safety.
What special feature does the Q24000S01 include compared to a standard Q240 breaker?
The Q24000S01 includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip mechanism. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely for emergency shutdowns or specialized control applications.
How is the shunt trip wired on this Siemens breaker?
The shunt trip requires a separate 120V control signal. When voltage is applied to the shunt trip coil via the attached pigtail leads, it mechanically forces the breaker to trip and open the circuit.
Will this plug-on breaker fit in older I-T-E load centers?
Yes, Siemens Type QP breakers are backwards compatible with older I-T-E load centers that specify Type QP or EQ-P breakers on the panel label.
Why does the product description mention bolt-on mounting while the specifications say plug-on?
The Q24000S01 is a Type QP breaker, which utilizes a plug-on connection. Any mention of bolt-on mounting for this specific catalog number is a misprint. Bolt-on applications require a Type BQ breaker.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The Q24000S01 provides standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent and short circuit protection alongside the remote shunt trip. It does not include GFCI or AFCI circuitry.
Can the trip settings on the Q24000S01 be adjusted in the field?
No, the long-time and instantaneous trip functions on this miniature circuit breaker are fixed at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
What does the LI trip function code mean for this breaker?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. Long-Time handles sustained overloads, while Instantaneous quickly clears severe short circuits.
Is the Q24000S01 rated for continuous duty?
Like most standard miniature circuit breakers, it is rated for 80 percent continuous duty. Continuous loads should not exceed 32 amps to prevent nuisance tripping.
Can I use this breaker to replace a Murray MP-T breaker?
Yes. Siemens has officially phased out the Murray brand and issued documentation stating that Siemens Type QP breakers are the UL-listed replacements for Murray Type MP-T breakers.
