Parallax ITEQ RV Circuit Breakers: QP, QT & Two-Pole Guide

Parallax's ITEQ breaker part numbers identify Siemens-style plug-in AC circuit breakers commonly encountered in RV distribution equipment. The important distinction is between a QP single-pole breaker, a QT tandem breaker with two independent 120V circuits, and a two-pole breaker for a suitable 120/240V application. These formats cannot be selected by amperage alone.

Three breaker designs that look similar in an RV panel

QP β€” one-pole

15AOne independent handle
One 1-inch panel space

A single 120V circuit. Examples: ITEQ115, ITEQ120 and ITEQ130. Choose the exact amperage listed for the circuit.

QT β€” twin / duplex

15A | 20ATwo independent handles in one housing
One 1-inch panel space, where permitted

A tandem QT provides two separate 120V circuits. Example: ITEQ1520. Two handles do not make it a 240V two-pole breaker.

QP β€” two-pole

50A + 50ACommon two-pole switching
Two adjacent 1-inch panel spaces

For the approved 120/240V application. The ITEQ250 is a 50A two-pole model, not a 30/20 tandem.

Original visual identification aid; not a scale drawing, terminal layout, pole-approval list or installation instruction. Whether a QP or QT fits depends on the specific panel's listing and permitted breaker positions.
Why this matters: QT tandem breakers are only acceptable in panel positions designed and listed for that format. They cannot be substituted for a two-pole breaker or installed merely because the body appears to fit.

These are catalog identification values, not approval for a particular power centre or installation. For example, a Parallax 8345/8355 has a 30A shore-power service and a separate 45A/55A DC converter rating; the converter's output rating does not determine which AC breaker belongs in the panel.

Manufacturer specifications and panel checks

Parallax groups its offerings into one-pole, twin duplex and two-pole circuit breakers. The 8345 and 8355 are 30A AC service power centres; their 11-position DC fuse blocks are separate from the AC breaker compartment.

Before selecting a replacement: Read the breaker manufacturer's full number, the panel's approved breaker types and positions, the circuit wire rating and the installation label. Disconnect all AC power and have panel work completed by a qualified RV electrician. Never use a larger breaker to remedy repeated tripping.
