Siemens 40 Amp Double-Pole Type QP Circuit Breaker

The Siemens 40 Amp Double-Pole Type QP Circuit Breaker is a commonly used electrical breaker in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It is designed to protect circuits from overloading or short-circuiting by interrupting the electrical flow when necessary. The double-pole configuration means it is typically used for 240-volt circuits.

### Key Features:
- **Amperage:** 40 Amps
- **Poles:** Double-Pole (2P)
- **Type:** QP (Siemens' standard plug-in type)
- **Voltage Rating:** 120/240V AC
- **Width:** 1 inch (per pole, so 2 inches total)
- **Interrupt Rating:** Typically 10 kAIC (kilo-ampere interrupting capacity)
- **Compatibility:** Fits Siemens load centers and other panels that accept Type QP breakers

### Applications:
- Commonly used for 240V circuits like electric ovens, ranges, large HVAC systems, and electric water heaters
- Can also be used for two separate 120V circuits when combined on a double-pole breaker

This breaker is known for its reliability and ease of installation, making it a good choice for various high-demand electrical applications.
