Description

Built to handle 45-amp commercial loads, this three-pole QP family component provides standard 10kAIC thermal-magnetic protection. It mounts into compatible Siemens load centers and panelboards, acting as a functional substitute for legacy Murray MP345 units. The common trip mechanism ensures all phases disconnect simultaneously during a fault, while the HACR rating makes it suitable for HVAC motor applications.

Product FAQs

8 answers
Which load centers accept the Siemens Q345?

It is designed for 3-phase Siemens PL, ES, Ultimate, and EQ series load centers, as well as compatible panelboards that accept Type QP breakers.

Can I use this to replace a legacy Murray breaker?

Yes, the Siemens Q345 is a direct, UL-listed replacement for the obsolete Murray MP345 circuit breaker.

How much panel space is needed for installation?

This 3-pole breaker requires three standard 1-inch spaces on the panel bus.

Is this breaker suitable for HVAC equipment?

Yes, it is HACR rated, meaning it is approved to handle the specific inrush currents of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads.

What is required to use this as a back-fed main breaker?

To safely use this as a back-fed main, you must install a compatible hold-down kit, such as the Siemens ECMBR3, to secure the breaker to the panel bus.

Does this breaker feature a common trip mechanism?

Yes, it utilizes an internal common trip mechanism. If one phase experiences a fault, all three poles will trip simultaneously to disconnect power safely.

Can this be used in a single-phase panel?

No, this is a 3-pole breaker designed exclusively for 3-phase electrical systems and requires a 3-phase load center.

What is the difference between the Q345 and Q345H?

The Q345 has a standard interrupting rating of 10kAIC, while the Q345H is the high-interrupting version rated for 22kAIC.
