Siemens Q290 Circuit Breaker | 90 Amps, 2 Poles, 240 V

This Siemens Q290 circuit breaker is a robust 2-pole breaker designed for 240V electrical systems. With a 90 Amp capacity, it offers reliable overload and short-circuit protection for various applications. Its convenient plug-in design allows for straightforward installation in compatible Siemens load centers.

Features:

• High Amperage Rating: A 90-amp rating makes it suitable for high-demand applications and large appliances such as electric ovens, central air conditioning units, or large water heaters.
  
• Dual Pole Design: As a two-pole breaker, it is designed for 240-volt (or 120/240V) applications, supporting dual-phase systems and interrupting both hot legs simultaneously when a fault is detected.
  
• Thermal-Magnetic Protection: The breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit to offer dual protection: the thermal element protects against persistent overloads, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous tripping in the event of a short circuit.
  
• Plug-In Connection: Features a plug-in mounting style and "insta-wire" feature for easy and quick installation into compatible Siemens EQ, PL, and ES series load centers.
  
• Safety Standards & Interrupting Rating: It has a certified 10,000 Amperes Interrupting Capacity (AIC) and is UL Listed and CSA Approved, meeting rigorous safety and performance requirements for electrical distribution equipment.
  
• Durable Construction: Made with durable materials, including ABS/plastic and aluminum components, giving it rust-resistant properties and suitability for indoor and outdoor use.
  
• Wire Compatibility: Compatible with a range of copper or aluminum wire sizes, typically from 8 AWG up to 2/0 AWG.
