Operating at 240VAC, the Siemens BQ3B015 is a 15A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker for commercial use. It utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements to provide long-time and instantaneous protection across three-phase circuits. This BQ frame breaker mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards using a bolt-on configuration. It includes load side lugs and crosses to BAB3015 and THQB32015 units. Carrying a HACR rating, it is certified to protect dedicated HVAC equipment.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Siemens BQ3B015 circuit breaker?
The BQ3B015 is a bolt-on breaker designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential load centers that require plug-on EQ or QP style breakers.
Is there a higher interrupting rating version of the BQ3B015 available?
Yes. If your system requires a higher short-circuit rating than 10kAIC, you can use the BQ3B015H (rated at 22kAIC) or the HB3B015 (rated at 65kAIC). Both share the same physical footprint and bolt-on mounting style.

Is the Siemens BQ3B015 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific overcurrent protection designation.
Does the BQ3B015 breaker come with load-side lugs?
Yes, Siemens BQ series bolt-on breakers are supplied with load-side lugs installed from the factory, ready to accept your branch circuit wiring.
Can the BQ3B015 be used on a 208Y/120V system?
Yes, while it has a maximum voltage rating of 240VAC, this 3-pole breaker can be safely applied on 208Y/120V or 240V three-phase systems.
