QPJ3200 - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

QPJ3200 - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

Keeping your existing electrical system in service often comes down to finding the right replacement part. The Siemens QPJ3200 200 Amp 3-Pole Circuit Breaker is a Type QPJ plug-in breaker intended for compatible electrical distribution equipment. With a 200-amp current rating, 240V AC voltage rating, and 10kA interrupting capacity, it provides thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits. For maintenance electricians and facility teams working with older Siemens installations, the QPJ3200 is a practical choice when the equipment specifically requires this catalog number and breaker configuration.

Key Features and Benefits

• 200-Amp Current Rating: Provides overcurrent protection for compatible electrical distribution applications requiring a 200A breaker.
• Three-Pole Configuration: Designed for equipment requiring three-pole circuit protection.
• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Mechanism: Responds to sustained overloads and short-circuit faults.
• 10kA Interrupting Rating: Rated to interrupt fault currents up to 10,000 amps at 240V AC.
• Type QPJ Plug-In Design: Matches the connection arrangement required by electrical equipment specifically approved for this breaker type.
