HQS2200H - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

HQS2200H - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're matching a breaker to existing equipment, the details matter more than the amp rating alone. The Siemens HQS2200H is a 200A, two-pole Type HQSH circuit breaker rated for 120/240V, with thermal-magnetic trip characteristics. Siemens identifies the HQS2200H for electrical distribution and places it in the Meter Load Center Combo Mains product family. The manufacturer's product headline specifies a 100 kA interrupt rating, giving you another critical value to compare with the breaker being replaced and the equipment's requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• 200A amperage rating: Provides a clear starting point when matching the breaker to existing equipment requirements.
• Two-pole configuration: Makes pole-count verification straightforward when replacing a breaker in compatible equipment.
• 120/240V rating: Provides the specified operating voltage for comparison with the existing installation.
• Thermal-magnetic trip: Siemens specifies a thermal-magnetic trip range for this model.
• Type HQSH: Exact breaker-type identification helps narrow the match beyond amperage and voltage alone.
• Electrical distribution application: Manufacturer information identifies electrical distribution as the application.
• Meter Load Center Combo Mains family: Useful when cross-checking the breaker against compatible Siemens equipment documentation.
