What I mean my bus stabs are not notched to allow tandem circuit breakers someone said and if so is there a breaker that will fit 1" space with 2

It's a fire hazard to use tandem breakers in a panel not rated for them. Not to mention its illegal and against code. Just change your panel. They are not very expensive and any competent electrician can change it out in an hour or two. Siemens does however make tandem breakers with a long slot cut in them that fit in your panel.

You cannot directly replace the breaker to a 100amp. Siemens doesnt make a 100 amp that size. You could buy just the main lug and buy a standard 2 pole siemens 100 amp breaker and make your main the first 2 positions on the left.

Your sub panel likely has 240 volts. You need room in this panel for a duplex breaker set for the amperage needed. If no room, then another sub panel off of that one can be added. Hope this helps.

You'll need to recess on one side with the standard model. It might be worth contacting the seller to see if they can provide a longer custom length. They are very helpful and responsive. Note that it will be worth your time to make it work, as this is a quality product (I have two of them).

not totally sure what you are asking, but these replace one standard size breaker (1" width) with a double - meaning it now supports two separate independent 115V circuits in the same 1" space in your box. if you mean tandem as in two 1" breakers pinned together so you can get 220V, it is NOT that.

well it could be, it's secured through a 1/2 inch size knockout, (with the appropriate nut)..... if you wanted it to be in your breaker panel, you could do that but you might want to check the local codes for your area, as it seems that some recommend it's own electrical box.

This cannot be done. The two breakers that are side by side are from two different phases with magnetic fields out of phase with each other. You can however put two wires from the same phase together. Such as a wire from every other breaker... Which is the same phase as far as the breaker panel is concerned. Typically though just one wire or cable is monitored at a time.

I heard that if it's double notched it can't be shimmed. But for some reason sellers aren't making it obvious whether or not their locks have this feature.

most GE breakers fit the Siemens bus bar, there are some older breakers that are different where they fit on to the bus bar. Of course Siemens recommends using their breakers.

You can install it in any circuit breaker box. It works best if it can have its own breaker.

This is easy to install if you have the two empty, but if you don't have two slots, things get more involved. Might be wise to bite the bullet and call a licensed electrician to look at your specific setup and suggest some solutions.

NEC only allows breakers that are listed for the box to be used. Inspector will fail job.

Sorry its not designed to do that. If your amp is tripping your breaker a lot then it should be on a breaker its self. I would first check to see what service your breaker box is on....60amp, 100amp or 200amp. Most power company prefer 200amp service and in most cases will upgrade your feed line at no charge, as long as you or a certified electrician installs a 200 amp breaker box and service to the outside. But make sure its to code or they will not do it. also see what all that breaker shuts off. It may not be your amp at all it maybe a combination of items that is drawing to much amperage. Also try replacing the outlet your using with a serge outlet so it trips the outlet first and not the breaker. Sorry its not designed to do that.

Home Depot, Lows and other hardware stores all have plates for double gang boxes. They are easier to find for the same style of switch. In your case, you would want to ensure your other switch or power plug is also a decora style (large rectangle shape). If it is not, it can easily be remedied by replacing whatever you have with one of that style.

if you have a 110 volt supply check circuit panel for a triped breaker, also there is an iginter that could be bad..

The module is relatively small (4 1/2 X 6in) and should be easily mounted on the side of the box if it has sufficient depth. Just mount it near two breakers of opposite phase that you will use to connect the 2 hot wires to and near the neutral and ground buss bars where you will connect those wires. If none of this makes sense to you, please be safe and hire an electrician to do the job. Installation can be dangerous if you don't know what youre doing. Good Luck.

What Mark Lukas said, but I will add that with my luck, the outlet would line up with one of the bars, not a hole! ;-)
