What this product is for
The Siemens Q230 is a 2-pole, 30A plug-in circuit breaker for 120/240V AC branch circuit protection in compatible Siemens loadcentres and panelboards. It is designed to provide overcurrent and short-circuit protection using a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism.
Use for
Use this breaker for properly sized 120/240V circuits that require a 2-pole common-trip breaker, including dedicated equipment and small 240V loads where the panel listing calls for Siemens Type QP. Typical 30A branch circuits are commonly paired with #10 AWG copper conductors, subject to equipment requirements and Canadian Electrical Code compliance.
Avoid for
Do not use where a GFCI, AFCI, CAFCI, dual-function, or specialty breaker is required. Avoid using it in panels not specifically listed for Siemens Type QP breakers, and do not substitute based on physical fit alone.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors replacing or adding a standard 30A 2-pole breaker in Siemens residential or light commercial distribution equipment where a plug-in Type QP breaker with common trip is required.
Installed in
Installed in compatible Siemens loadcentres and panelboards as a plug-in branch breaker. It occupies two pole spaces and is used on 120/240V AC systems.
Why this product exists
This breaker exists to protect branch-circuit wiring and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits while providing simultaneous disconnect across both poles. For continuous loads, a common rule of thumb is to size the load to no more than 80% of breaker rating, so a 30A breaker is typically limited to about 24A continuous load. Actual application depends on conductor sizing, equipment nameplate, ambient conditions, and local electrical code.
Compared with similar products
Compared with single-pole breakers, the Q230 protects a 2-pole circuit and trips both poles together. Compared with Siemens specialty breakers, this is a standard thermal-magnetic Type QP breaker rather than a GFCI or AFCI model. It is a fit choice when you need a standard 30A 2-pole breaker and the panel schedule and equipment listing call for this breaker type.

Are Siemens QP and QT breakers interchangeable?
No. QT breakers will not fit in a panel designed for QP breakers. The most notable difference is where the breaker connects to the main bar. QT breakers have a much shorter height. The Q230 is a QP Style
