Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the HH suffix in the Q240HH catalog number indicate?
The HH designates an extra-high interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 120/240V AC. Standard Siemens QP breakers without the suffix are rated for 10kAIC, while those with a single H are rated for 22kAIC.
Which electrical panels are compatible with the Siemens Q240HH?
This Type QP breaker is designed for use in Siemens load centers and Siemens P1 panelboards that accept plug-on miniature circuit breakers. It is not compatible with GE, Square D, or Eaton panels.
Can I use the Q240HH to replace a standard Q240 or Q240H breaker?
Yes. The Q240HH shares the same physical dimensions and plug-in mounting style as the Q240 and Q240H. It can be used as a direct replacement while providing a higher 65kAIC interrupting capacity.
Is the Siemens Q240HH circuit breaker HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific safety designation.
Do the terminal lugs on the Q240HH accept both copper and aluminum wiring?
Yes, the lugs are rated for dual-rated conductors. They accept 8 to 6 AWG copper wire and 8 to 4 AWG aluminum wire.
Is the Q240HH compatible with older Murray load centers?
Siemens acquired Murray, and Type QP breakers like the Q240HH are often the UL-listed replacements for legacy Murray MP-T breakers. You must verify your specific panel labeling to confirm Type QP is an approved replacement.
