∙ 14y agoA QP type breaker is made by Siemens for a Siemens distribution panel and should not be interchanged with Square D. A Siemens QP type bolt in breaker will bolt into a SQ distribution panel but it is up to the electrical inspector to make the call as to it being safe or not. Square D breaker types are QO and QB. You might be mistaking the QP for a QB on the breaker. The QO breaker is a plug in breaker usually used in home wiring and the QB is a bolt in breaker. QB breakers are usually specified for industrial and commercial use.
A miniature breaker is just two breaker that fit into one breaker slot. These types of breakers are designed to install the same as a full size breaker. Different types of breakers have different mounting configurations to the panels bus bars so installation instructions are not possible without knowing the make and type.
Hard to define... A four year old child has the strength to physically "make" a typical household circuit breaker, while a teen would be able to "make" a typical industrial circuit breaker. (The latter breaker being physically much larger than the former.) Circuit breakers have their "breaking capacity" rated in AMPS. A typical household breaker is rated at 20, 30 or 50 Amps. Industrial breakers might be rated at 500 amps or a thousand or even more. Hope this helps but if it didn't answer your question, please rephrase it and ask again.
The way to detect if a shunt trip breaker is malfunctioning is to manually trip the breaker. The shunt is usually wired through a auxiliary relay. Make sure that before you trip the breaker that the load can be shut off without taking a production line etc. off line. Trip the auxiliary relay using a test jumper to activate the relays coil. The breaker's handle will move to mid throw and the load will disconnect from the supply power. If the breaker trips then it is working properly. If the breaker does not trip trouble shoot the circuitry that is used to trip the breaker. Usual problem is an open circuit.
50 amp with AWG # 6 wire is normal. Read the instructions that came with the stove to make sure.
No tandem breakers are of the same value.
They didn't used to be, however, Square D now has a "homeline" line of circuit breakers which interchange with gould. They are available at Lowes, Home Depot and other hardware stores. Make sure you purchase the identical amperage Square D "homeline" breaker.

Installing a 30A 240V GFI breaker for a dryer should be fine as long as the wiring and dryer itself are compatible with the breaker. The GFI breaker is designed to protect against electrical faults and should not be affected by the cycles of the dryer. Make sure to follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure proper functioning.
Yes, you can use a compatible 15A single pole breaker from a different brand that fits the panel. Make sure to consult the panel manufacturer's guidelines and specifications to ensure compatibility and safety. If in doubt, it's recommended to consult a licensed electrician.
The question is very unclear. Here are some facts that may help: -- "Kilogram" is not a force. -- "Square" units are not compatible with "cubic" units. -- 10,000 square centimeters make 1 square meter. -- 1,000,000 cubic centimeters make 1 cubic meter.
Yes, a 2 pole 60 amp ITE Gould or Westinghouse breaker can replace a 2 pole 60 amp T and B unit as long as they have the same voltage rating and fit properly in the panel. It is important to make sure that the replacement breaker is compatible with your specific panel model.
Have the circuit breaker replaced.
No. I wish I could find a way to make it compatible. Does anyone know of a way to make it compatible with Windows 7??
If Chrome is incompatible with something, we cannot make it compatible. It is up to the developers how they can make it compatible.
backwards-compatible
No, a double pole 50 amp breaker protects a 240 volt supply at 50 amps. The number that is on the handle of the breaker is the amperage that the breaker will trip at if an overload occurs on the circuit.
