• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 240V
• Series/Compatibility: QP-series family (best cross-reference for retrofit and replacement)

Why choose the ITE QP2B040 for your project

Exact electrical ratings matter for both safety and reliability. The QP2B040 provides the precise 40-amp, 240-volt protection you need for circuits that demand strong, predictable interruption behavior. Because the part number serves as the primary compatibility reference, you can confidently match footprint, termination style, and mounting orientation to existing panels that accept ITE QP-type breakers. This minimizes guesswork during maintenance or retrofit and reduces downtime.

Ideal use cases

• Routine maintenance and component replacement in panels designed for QP-series breakers
• Retrofits where a like-for-like 40A, 2-pole, 240V protection is required to maintain system integrity
• Spare or emergency stock for service calls in residential or light commercial settings

Practical considerations and installation tips

• Before ordering, verify that your panel labeling supports ITE QP-series breakers and that the 40A, 240V rating matches the circuit you are protecting.
• Use the part number QP2B040 as the primary cross-reference to ensure the physical fit and electrical ratings align with your existing equipment.
• During installation, follow standard electrical safety practices: de-energize the panel, confirm continuity, and torque termination screws according to the panel manufacturer’s guidelines.

Whether you are repairing a legacy panel, upgrading a distribution setup, or stocking parts for future service needs, the ITE QP2B040 40A 2-Pole 240V circuit breaker offers dependable protection with a straightforward compatibility reference.
