The Siemens Q2100 2‑Pole 100 Amp circuit breaker is a high‑capacity thermal‑magnetic breaker designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection for demanding residential and light commercial electrical systems. Engineered specifically for use in Siemens load centers and panelboards, this breaker safeguards conductors, equipment, and connected loads from damage caused by overloads and short‑circuit conditions.
As part of the Siemens Type QP breaker family, the Q2100 is built for consistent tripping accuracy, long‑term durability, and dependable performance under higher electrical loads. The two‑pole configuration ensures simultaneous disconnection of both ungrounded conductors, making it ideal for 240‑volt feeder circuits, sub‑panels, and high‑amperage equipment applications. Its plug‑on design allows for straightforward installation while maintaining a secure, stable connection within compatible Siemens panels.
The Siemens Q2100 circuit breaker is commonly used for sub‑panel feeds, large HVAC systems, electric ranges, distribution equipment, and other applications requiring robust 100‑amp circuit protection. It is trusted by electricians, contractors, and facility maintenance teams who need safe, code‑compliant protection backed by Siemens engineering.
