Rated for higher fault current environments, this 15-amp QPH series component provides 22kAIC protection at 240VAC. It fits seamlessly into Siemens load centers and panelboards, acting as a functional substitute for the discontinued MP315KH. The thermal-magnetic design incorporates Insta-Wire technology to accelerate wiring tasks, while its HACR certification ensures compliance for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What load centers are compatible with the Siemens Q315H?
The Q315H is a Type QPH breaker designed for use in Siemens PL, ES, and SN series load centers, as well as legacy EQ series panels and compatible Siemens panelboards that accept plug-on QP or QPH breakers.
What is the difference between the Siemens Q315 and the Q315H?
The difference lies in the short-circuit interrupting rating. The standard Q315 has a 10kAIC rating, whereas the Q315H features a high interrupting rating of 22kAIC at 240V AC.
How much panel space does the Q315H require?
As a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker, the Q315H requires three standard 1-inch spaces, taking up a total of 3 inches on the panel busbar.
Can I install the Q315H in an Eaton or Square D panel?
No. Siemens QPH breakers are not interchangeable with Eaton or Square D panels. Mixing breaker brands compromises the electrical system's safety and voids the UL listing unless a specific UL-classified cross-reference is explicitly approved for your exact panel.
Can the Q315H replace older ITE or Murray breakers?
Yes, Siemens acquired both ITE and Murray. The Q315H is the direct, UL-listed replacement for legacy ITE Q315H breakers and can often replace Murray MPH-T breakers, provided your specific panel label approves Type QPH replacements.
Does the Q315H require a bolted connection to the busbar?
No. The Q315H features a plug-on design, allowing it to snap directly onto the busbar of a compatible Siemens load center without requiring mounting screws or bolts.
What type of protection does the Q315H provide?
It features a thermal magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions. The thermal component protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component trips instantly during severe short circuits.
