Yes. I just installed a 400 amp service with two of these breakers, and they're both wired with 4/0 with no problems, and there's plenty of room for the wire.
It's a 200-amp circuit breaker that's primarily used for main breakers.
Aside from initial installation, I've never seen a breaker come with a warranty. That happened to me once, so I returned it. I'm guessing it's tripped due to an electrical problem.
The QN2200R will not work with a Crouse Hinds panel that has already been installed. It should be possible to use a Murray MPD2200R breaker, which would have to be obtained from a third-party supplier. It would also have to be wired in from the side, which could pose a problem if the existing breaker is replaced with offset lugs wired from the top. To do so, I'd have to figure out if the service wire has enough slack. You can ask for the MPD2200R to be installed in the existing CH panel if the UL subletter requires it. Siemens can be reached at [email protected]. com. It's also a good idea to hire a Licensed Electrician to help you replace the existing main breaker.
Selected User Reviews For Siemens QN2200R 200-Amp 2 Pole 240-Volt Circuit Breaker
Why do you have to buy a second one separately when you buy a 400 amp panel that takes two of these? But, at the very least, they were both as Siemen's should be! Yes, some people put in a 400-box and only want 200 to begin with, with the option to upgrade later.
When I couldn't find one anywhere else, this was exactly what I needed.
Installing it is simple, and once it is done, it is secure.
It is an exact replacement breaker. I've had no problems with the same brand in the past.
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE IN RESTORING ELECTRIC POWER- A FAMILY IN NEED OF HEAT IN THEIR HOUSE. IN THIS AREA, THIS TYPE OF BREAKER IS DIFFICULT TO FIND.
It was perfect for my installation.
Exactly what I was looking for.
