SIEMENS Q230HID 30A 2 Pole 120/240V AC High Intensity Discharge circuit breaker

SKU CH-QP03-S92ZY

A 30 A, two-pole miniature breaker rated for 120/240 V AC high-intensity discharge loads with a 10 kA interrupting capacity

  • Designed for high-intensity discharge lighting with 30 A rating
  • Handles both 120 V and 240 V AC circuits in one unit
  • Two-pole configuration protects both legs of a single-phase supply
  • Plug-in mounting fits directly into compatible Siemens EQ load centres
  • Rated for 10 kA interrupting capacity at 120 V AC

Application & Fit

The Siemens Q230HID is a 30A two-pole miniature circuit breaker designed for high intensity discharge lighting circuits. It fits Siemens EQ load centers using a plug-in mounting style and protects single-phase 120/240V AC branch circuits up to 10kA interrupting rating.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The breaker carries a continuous 30A rating and provides a 48V DC voltage rating alongside the AC specification. Its high intensity discharge designation means it handles the inrush and steady-state demands of HID ballasts without nuisance tripping during extended operation.

Build & Connections

The frame size is 125A/QP with a toggle actuator for manual control. Terminal lugs accept copper conductors from 14 AWG up to 6 AWG. The plug-in mounting engages directly with compatible EQ series bus bars, securing the device without additional hardware.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the Q230HID produce when it carries 30 A continuously?

The breaker uses a toggle actuator and plug-in mounting; it has no fan or moving parts, so it runs silently and its temperature rise stays within the 10 kA AIR rating at 120 V AC.

What panelboard must I already own for this breaker to install?

It is designed for Siemens EQ load centers and fits the Q series frame size of 125 A.

Will the Q230HID coordinate with an older 125 A QP frame breaker already in the panel?

Both share the 125 A frame size and plug-in mounting, so they install side by side in the same EQ load center.
