Product FAQs

10 answers
Will the Siemens Q315 work in a standard residential single-phase panel?

No. The Q315 is a 3-pole circuit breaker that requires three separate hot bus connections. It is strictly designed for 3-phase Siemens load centers and panelboards.

Which load center series accept this breaker?

This plug-on breaker fits Siemens 3-phase PL series and ES series load centers, as well as Siemens P1 panelboards. Check the wiring diagram inside the panel door to verify QP series compatibility.

Can this breaker replace a discontinued Murray MP315?

Yes. Siemens manufactures the Q315 as the exact, UL-listed replacement for the obsolete Murray MP315 3-pole breaker.

What is the generic industrial cross-reference number for the Q315?

The standard industrial cross-reference part number for this breaker is 3CNJ7.

How many panel spaces does the Q315 require?

This breaker requires three adjacent 1-inch spaces, occupying a total of 3 inches of unit space on a 3-phase bus.

What is the Insta-Wire feature on this breaker?

Insta-Wire means the terminal lug screws are shipped from the factory in the backed-out position. This saves installation time by allowing immediate insertion of 14-6 AWG copper or aluminum wire.

Does this breaker require a bolt-on mounting kit?

No. The Q315 uses a standard plug-on connection that snaps directly onto the panel bus bars.

Is the Q315 rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes. This circuit breaker is HACR rated, certifying it for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment requiring 15-amp, 3-phase protection.

Does this breaker include ground-fault or arc-fault protection?

No. The Q315 provides standard thermal-magnetic protection with long-time and instantaneous trip functions. It is not a GFCI, AFCI, or dual-function breaker.

Is it safe to install this QP breaker in a competitor's 3-phase panel?

No. Unless a specific competitor panel label explicitly lists Siemens QP breakers as a UL-classified replacement, installing them in panels from brands like GE or Square D voids the UL listing and creates a fire hazard.
