Product FAQs
6 answersHow is the Siemens BQ2B060QLD installed in an electrical enclosure?
The BQ2B060QLD features a factory-installed mounting clip that allows it to snap directly onto a standard DIN rail. It is designed for OEM control panels and DIN rail enclosures rather than standard panelboards.
Is the Siemens BQ2B060QLD rated for 480V systems?
No, this breaker is rated for a maximum of 120/240V AC. If your application requires 480/277V protection, you will need to specify a different Siemens frame, such as the BQD series.
What does the QLD suffix indicate on this Siemens BQ breaker?
The QLD suffix designates that the breaker is configured for DIN rail mounting and includes both line and load side lugs. Standard BQ breakers without this suffix are typically designed for bolt-on panelboard installations.
Can the BQ2B060QLD be used in standard Siemens residential load centers?
No. Because it is a DIN rail mounted breaker, it will not fit into standard Siemens residential load centers that require plug-on style breakers. It is specifically built for DIN rail enclosures and OEM panels.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism operate on the BQ2B060QLD?
The breaker uses a fixed thermal element to provide long-time protection against continuous overloads, while a fixed magnetic element provides instantaneous trip response to clear severe short circuits up to 10kA.
Does the BQ2B060QLD accept aluminum wiring?
Yes, the included lugs are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. They accept 8 to 1 AWG copper wire, or 6 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.
