Questions & Answers

Are there any murray service panels that will fit this?

The new Murray panel will fit in the existing It's the same breaker as mp260, just with a different label on it. It's hard to say what panels were used in the past.

there be any problems if it is used as the main breaker with 4/0 aluminum wire?

The answer is a The 4/0 size has a diameter of 10mm. Let me know if you can stuff this inside the 6mm mount holes for a Buffalo nickel.

What if I want to use a 4 gauge aluminum cable ?

The answer is yes.

Is it true that there are a couple of 60s? If that's the case, then it's ?

My new tankless water heater will be perfect with this
5/5

To power my new water heater, I needed a breaker. This one met my needs perfectly. We had a very fast delivery and this was an unbeatable price. The price of this product was far lower than what I normally pay for Square D products. Therefore, I bought this breaker from Siemens, which I also trust as much as Square D. The tankless water heater upgrade has only been happening for a few days, but it is an essential part of it. This module fits perfectly into my The home line 200-HOM2040M200PCVP I would like 20 watts of power if possible I found space 40 to be cool This is the Circuit Indoor Main Breaker load center and I must say that I am impressed with the overall quality of this breaker. I'll be sure to come back to this brand when I need to order the rest of the breakers that I'll need in the future.

All of our operations have been transferred A Siemens Generator has recently been added to my house and I recently replaced my house's load center with Siemens gear A ready panel is attached It will probably be cheaper and more versatile than a transfer switch for portable generators)

As a result, there's no way to test breaker panels in your house, so you basically have to trust the manufacturer. Over 150 years of experience makes this company a leader in quality building products. For the money I am investing and the house I own, this is The prices on Amazon are good Compared to the big box stores, they offer a greater selection. Since that is the case, I'll continue to get my Siemens switchgear from Amazon. I would like to make the following observation Interchangeable with other load centers, these are sold at a discount. In fact, Siemens does not recommend it, and the warranty may not be honored if you use a breaker from another company on your Siemens panel.

This is a great price for this size breaker
5/5

These breakers are extremely easy to order, and the price and ease of purchase are unbeatable. The QP type breakers are hard to find at my local hardware store and home center. My service panel was recently replaced with a 200 amp Siemens panel and I needed to add one additional I needed one that fit the application I needed, and this one fit the bill. Should I need another QP type breaker, I will pass this information along.

I really like it
5/5

This is an easy to install program. Everything worked as it should have. In addition to the on demand water heater I purchased from Amazon, I also had to purchase this for a dishwasher. So far, it has worked without a problem. It has run for 7 months. It is highly recommended that you understand what you are doing before you try to operate A lot of the decision is based on common sense, and only a few is based on Using common sense and fear makes installing an Ethernet switch a breeze, and keeping yourself from getting electrocuted keeps the job from going sideways.

- Small lugs
3/5

Terminal lugs are too small for heavy (conservative) gauge wire. I'm unable to use it in the manner I intended.

You pulled off the trick! The breaker for my EV charger failed to trip because it had a relatively low amp rating

It does what it says it will
5/5

This has not caused any problems for my heat pump. It does what it says it will. After completion of the installation, I have not had a tripped heat pump. A breaker on my old circuit breaker kept kicking off occasionally.
