Discover Our NEW Siemens Circuit Breakers and Load Centers

Drumroll please... We’re excited to announce our NEW line of Siemens circuit breakers and load centers! Our collection of ITE breakers and SN, PN, and PL series load centers are perfect for providing your home or business with the overcurrent protection you need to safeguard your electrical system from unexpected power surges or faults.

For many years, Siemens’ focus on quality has made them a go-to choice for anyone seeking dependable and long-lasting power solutions. And now, with our new range of products available in a variety of configurations, you have 24/7 access to the ideal solutions for your unique applications. In this blog, we’ll dive into how circuit breakers and load centers function within an electrical system and explore the exciting benefits our new products offer to help you keep your home or business protected from electrical faults.

Why Do I Need Siemens Circuit Breakers?

We all know that electrical faults and power surges are really bad news. Without intervention, short circuits and surges can easily damage appliances and surrounding wiring before escalating to an electrical fire. While this might sound pretty scary, there’s no need to panic! Circuit breakers are designed to stop electrical irregularities in their tracks before they can cause bigger problems.

To put it simply, when an overload occurs, such as having too many devices plugged in and drawing power from the same circuit, the breaker automatically “trips” and interrupts the flow of power to prevent damage to downstream equipment, nearby wiring, and electrical fires. Once the breaker has tripped, it will keep those circuits closed until you reset the breaker manually.

With that in mind, having a dependable and easy-to-install circuit breaker like our new push-on ITE Siemens models can help to stop overcurrent dead in their tracks:

• These Siemens circuit breakers are UL 489 approved for top-notch quality.

• They are designed to work in harmony with PL and ES Series equipment.

• They feature a convenient QP plug-in mounting style and a quick wiring system to make installation a breeze.

• Each breaker boasts an interruption rating of up to 10 KAIC, to offer shockingly good protection against short circuits and overloading.

We’ve got Siemens circuit breakers ranging from 20 to 60 amps, 120V, 120/240V, or 240V, and single to 3 poles, so you can always find the perfect fit for your power panel. With their easy push-on installation, sleek and compact design, and top-tier circuit interruption technology, they’re sure to give you peace of mind.

What Are Siemens Load Centers?

In order to understand the role of load centers in an electrical circuit, take a moment to picture a building’s electrical system as a highway. Similar to the way that roads allow a path for cars, wiring provides electricity with a path to continuously flow through a building’s circuits. Now, think of a load center as a big intersection that safely stops and directs traffic to where it needs to go. It all comes together perfectly, doesn’t it?

In addition to serving as the hub from which electricity is sent to various circuits in your home, load centers also house circuit breakers to keep each path safe in case something goes wrong. Whether it's controlling the flow of power or supporting a quick response to electrical issues, load centers play an essential role in maintaining the integrity of your power system.

As you already know, our team always aims to offer you the best power solutions available. So, not only are our load centers reliable and easy to install, but we have options with indoor (NEMA 1) or outdoor (NEMA 3R) enclosures to best suit your needs and preferences. 

Depending on which series you choose, they’re also fitted with a single ground bar and aluminum bus bars or two ground bars and copper bus bars for efficient electrical conduction. In addition, they’re compact and lightweight so that they can easily be mounted into your wall. 

Now, let’s take a closer look at our new Siemens SN, PN, and PL load centers to help you better understand which one might be the best fit for your needs:
