Siemens Ite Twin Q1515 Circuit Breaker Type Qt Questions & Answers
Will a Siemens ITE
yes it will, you need to always make sure that you put the same brand in the panel box, good luck
Siemens QF230A keeps tripping after installation.
So likely you have a 3 wire dryer cord and a 3 wire branch circuit. The dryer neutral is bonded to the dryer frame and the third wire of the dryer plug.
There were code exceptions for dryers and stoves that allowed timer motor circuits to use the neutral as a current carrier and frame ground.
To use the GFCI for the dryer you will be required to add an additional conductor (new 3 wire+ground cable) and separate the neutral to frame bond in the dryer and use a 4 wire dryer cord.
Likely you also have some GFCI single pole breakers and replaced ungrounded receptacles with grounded (another code exception) and they work OK. The dryer and stove are different as there is current on the third wire where as on the ungrounded receptacle GFCI there is no 3rd wire.
In breif, the neutral (current carrier conductor) from the dryer must be isolated from the dryer frame and dryer ground (fault current carrier conductor).
Or just leave it the way it was.
Check with local authority with jurisdiction for local code requirements.

MY WIFE HIT HER SHOULDER
Flip each breaker all the way off and then all the way back on.. If that doesn't fix the problem, look for a tripped GFI (go around and press the reset button on any outlets that have the buttons "test" and "reset"). If that still doesn't work, you should probably contact an electrician.

Activating shunt trip circuit on vl160n
A shunt is always energized and it has a purpose. The purpose is to bypass some of the load from the main circuit. It would be tripping due to overload

I have a Bulldog Pushbutton breaker box and one of
Hi,
You cane replace that with the 20/40/40/20 as long as the wire size on the two 20 amp poles are at least 12 gauge wire. It is a very good possibility that the wire is #12 wire, but you will have to verify that for sure before installing that breaker.
All of those breakers are getting more difficult to find and I'm sure that the quad is even more difficult.
Hopefully you have the 12 wire and then it will be no problem and you will be in good shape.
