Product FAQs
5 answersWhich Siemens load centers and metering equipment accept the HQ2100BH?
The HQ2100BH is designed for use in Siemens 200A modular and Uni-Pak metering equipment, as well as 300A to 600A service entrance load centers.
How much space does the HQ2100BH require in a panel?
Although it is a 2-pole breaker, it features a 4-pole wide frame. It requires four panel spaces (two adjacent and two opposite) for proper installation.
Can the HQ2100BH be used in place of a standard 100A QP branch breaker?
No. The HQ2100BH is a 4-pole wide main breaker frame (HQPPH type) designed for specific metering equipment and large load centers. It will not fit in standard 1-inch branch breaker spaces.
What is the difference between the HQPPH series and standard QPP series breakers?
The HQPPH series, which includes the HQ2100BH, provides a high interrupting rating of 100kAIC. Standard QPP series breakers offer a 10kAIC rating, while QPPH series breakers are rated for 22kAIC.
Does the HQ2100BH provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the HQ2100BH is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. It provides overload and short-circuit protection but does not include Ground Fault (GFCI) or Arc Fault (AFCI) sensing.
