Product FAQs
5 answers
How many panel spaces does the Siemens QN2175H require?
Although it is a 2-pole breaker, the larger QN frame requires four standard 1-inch panel spaces in compatible Siemens load centers and meter combinations.
What does the H stand for in the QN2175H catalog number?
The H indicates a high interrupting rating. The QN2175H is rated to safely interrupt fault currents up to 22kAIC at 120/240V, compared to the standard QN2175 which is rated for 10kAIC.
Is the QN2175H a certified replacement for obsolete Murray breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired the Murray brand and consolidated the product lines. The QN2175H is the officially UL-listed direct replacement for the legacy Murray MPD2175H and similar 175A Murray MD-HT frame breakers.
Can this breaker be installed as a back-fed main?
Yes, the QN2175H can be used in reverse feed applications. If you are installing it as a back-fed main breaker, the National Electrical Code requires you to secure it to the load center using an approved panel-specific hold-down kit.
Is the QN2175H approved for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is certified to provide safe overcurrent protection for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits that require a 175A disconnect.
