EQ8693 - 150Amp Circuit Breaker

EQ8693 - 150Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a 150 Amp main circuit breaker for a compatible Siemens load center, the Siemens EQ8693 provides the correct form, fit, and function for the job. Designed for residential electrical distribution, this EQ series main breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that responds to both prolonged overloads and short circuits, helping protect your electrical system when abnormal conditions occur. Its plug-in design allows it to install in equipment built for this breaker configuration. Manufactured to meet UL 489 standards, the EQ8693 is built to last and is intended for use as a direct replacement where the original equipment specifies this exact catalog number.
