Q270 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker Description
Q270 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker
The Siemens Q270 is a 70-amp, 2-pole circuit breaker rated for 120/240V AC applications. It is commonly installed in residential load centers and light commercial panels for feeder circuits and electrical distribution. The Type QP/MP plug-in design allows it to fit compatible Siemens load centers, making it a practical option when replacing an existing breaker with matching specifications.
A thermal-magnetic trip mechanism helps protect your circuits from overloads and short circuits, while the 10kAIC interrupting rating meets the requirements of many residential and light commercial installations.
Built to last, the Q270 is frequently used for maintenance, repair, and replacement projects involving Siemens load centers and distribution equipment.
