(More customer reviews)I personally bought this for a travel trailer which has limited breaker space and is specially designed to work with this class of dual breaker. However it will work in any Siemens Q-type enclosure. The Q series is their consumer breaker and panel series. Just as it describes this is a "single pull - double throw" breaker. This is NOT a two pole breaker to be used with 240V applications. This breaker occupies 1 breaker slot and gives you two independant 120V circuits. This specific model gives you one 120V 15A and one 120V 20A circuit. It will require two neutral and two ground connections to the neutral and ground bar as well, so be sure you have that availible in your panel as well. Duel breakers work especially well in small panels with limited breaker slots that have 240V two-pole breakers installed in them since the 240V lines will leave an additional neutral and ground connection availible in the Neutral/ground bus as compared to the number of slots they occupy. As always be sure shut off the priamary disconnect for the panel your working in. Also be sure that the circuits your mounting this breaker have wire rated for that amperage. And if you are unsure in the slightest of your abilites when working with electricity please contact a licenced electrcian.
I've only had this particualar unit about two months. No problems to report. The is no hum (an indication of a bad breaker) and the throws click securly in the on position as a throw breaker should. Although I have not has this unit long, I have used many siemens Q-type breakers in the last 10 years with excellent results. I have also had experience with other siemens dual breakers before with no problems. I recommend Siemens over all other brands.
