Siemens Q230 Double Pole Circuit Breaker 30A 240V

Product Description

The Siemens Q230 is a 2-pole, 30-amp circuit breaker rated for 240-volt residential and light commercial electrical systems. It occupies 2 inches of panel space and is designed for branch circuit overcurrent protection in load centers compatible with ITE and Siemens breaker lines. Licensed electricians install this breaker to protect circuits serving high-draw appliances such as dryers, water heaters, HVAC equipment, and similar 240-volt loads. The Q230 delivers reliable thermal-magnetic trip action, interrupting fault current to protect wiring and connected equipment from overload and short-circuit conditions.

This breaker is suited for residential and light commercial panelboards. Typical applications include dedicated 240-volt branch circuits in new construction and service upgrades. It is sold in bulk packaging with a unit of measure of each, with a package quantity of 6 units per pack, making it practical for contractors stocking service vehicles or supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off the main breaker and verify the bus bars are de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before handling any panel components. Confirm the panelboard is rated to accept this breaker style before installation. Do not exceed the breaker ampacity rating for the connected circuit wire gauge.
