Siemens Circuit Breakers

Krashk2

I am adding a basement suite to a house and need more circuit breakers. I was wondering if anyone knows if Siemens has a smaller version of the 2 pole 15 amp breaker used for kitchen plugs. The existing breakers take up room for 4 15 amp single pole breakers

I wonder why you just wouldn't put in a small subpanel if you're out of spaces?

Thanks for the reply. I was able to find the smaller breakers. They come in a group of 4 with the middle 2 breakers acting as double pole. I will have to do a little arranging but it should work fine

I find it hard to believe, that the load has not changed, with the addition of a basement suite, just adding more breakers is not an answer, checking your added, and existing loads and planning your system is.
