Siemens QE130 - 30 A, 120 V, 1-Pole Plug-In Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Siemens QE130, a 30A, 120V, 1-pole plug-in molded case circuit breaker engineered for reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers.

Designed for quick, tool-free swaps, the QE130 uses a fast plug-in connection that minimizes downtime during installation or replacement. The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection across a range of operating conditions—tripping quickly on short circuits and moderating overloads to prevent nuisance trips during normal load fluctuations.

Key benefits include seamless compatibility with matching OEM Siemens load centers and panelboards, so you can upgrade or service existing systems without compatibility concerns. Its 1-pole, 30-amp, 120-volt design is ideal for protecting individual branch circuits in residential spaces, small commercial outlets, and light industrial panel sections.

Ideal use cases

Use QE130 in panelboards where a dedicated 30A branch circuit needs reliable protection. Perfect for upgrading older panels, constructing new electrical rooms in light commercial spaces, or adding a protected circuit in a warehouse or workshop where a single hot leg requires solid, local protection.

What sets QE130 apart

• Plug-in convenience: Quick installation and simple replacement without complicated wiring or bus bar modifications.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Combines thermal overload sensing with magnetic short-circuit interruption for dependable performance and precise trip thresholds.
• Panel compatibility: Explicitly designed to work with matching Siemens OEM load centers and panelboards for a seamless fit.
• Versatile application: Suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments where safety and reliability are essential.
