Providing reliable thermal-magnetic protection, the Siemens QR23B100 is a 3-pole, 100A molded case circuit breaker engineered for demanding applications. It handles long-time and instantaneous trip functions to prevent equipment damage from electrical faults. This unit mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as meter centers. With a 10kAIC rating at 240VAC, it serves as an exact functional substitute for the discontinued QJ23B100, ensuring continued facility uptime.
Does the Siemens QR23B100 replace the older QJ23B100?
Yes. The QR series is a direct, functional substitute for the obsolete QJ series. The QR23B100 shares the exact same form factor and mounting footprint as the QJ23B100 to allow for easy retrofitting without panel modifications.
What is the tightening torque for the load-side lugs on the QR23B100?
For the standard factory-installed 3TA1QR300 lugs, tighten 3 AWG to 1/0 AWG conductors to 100 in-lbs. For larger 2/0 AWG to 300 kcmil conductors, tighten to 225 in-lbs.
Is the QR23B100 a 100% rated circuit breaker?
No, it is a standard 80% rated breaker. Per standard electrical code practices, continuous loads should not exceed 80A, which is 80% of its 100A nominal rating.
Are line and load lugs included with this breaker?
Standard QR23B100 breakers are supplied with load-side lugs only. If both line and load-side lugs are required for your installation, you must order the catalog number with an 'L' suffix (QR23B100L) or purchase the line-side lugs separately.
Can the QR23B100 be reverse fed?
Yes. The standard QR23B100 is constructed with a non-interchangeable trip unit, making it suitable for reverse feed applications where permitted by local code and system design.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the QR23B100?
No. This breaker features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip functions. The long-time and instantaneous trip thresholds are factory-calibrated and cannot be field-adjusted.
