Engineered for commercial and industrial distribution, the Siemens Q32000S01 is a 3-pole, 20-amp miniature circuit breaker. It operates at 240VAC with a 10kAIC rating, delivering dependable thermal-magnetic protection. The device mounts into standard Siemens load centers and panelboards via a plug-on connection. A key feature of this Type QP breaker is its factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip, enabling remote tripping for enhanced control. It is also HACR and SWD rated for versatile use.
What does the 00S01 suffix mean on the Siemens Q32000S01?
The 00S01 suffix indicates the breaker comes with a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be tripped remotely when a 120V control signal is applied to the shunt trip leads.
Can I use the Q32000S01 to replace a standard Q320 breaker?
Yes, but only if your application requires a 120V shunt trip. The Q32000S01 has the same 20A, 3-pole footprint as the standard Q320, but includes the added remote-trip accessory. If you do not need remote tripping capabilities, a standard Q320 is the direct replacement.
What type of panels accept the Q32000S01 breaker?
This Type QP breaker is compatible with Siemens load centers and panelboards designed for plug-on Q-frame breakers. Because it is a 3-pole breaker, it requires three adjacent 1-inch spaces on the panel bus.
What wire gauges are compatible with the Q32000S01 terminals?
The load lugs accept 14 to 6 AWG copper conductors or 12 to 6 AWG aluminum conductors. Always torque the terminal screws to the manufacturer specifications printed directly on the breaker.
What is the interrupting rating for the Q32000S01?
This breaker has a standard interrupting rating of 10,000 AIC (10kAIC) at 240VAC. If your system requires a higher fault current rating, you will need a fully rated or series-rated alternative like a Type QPH (22kAIC) or HQP (65kAIC) breaker.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit function on this breaker?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides two types of protection. The thermal component (Long-Time) protects against sustained overloads by heating a bimetallic strip, while the magnetic component (Instantaneous) trips the breaker immediately during a high-current short circuit.
