Product FAQs
7 answers
What does the S01 suffix mean on the Siemens BQ2B02000S01?
The S01 suffix indicates that the breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely for emergency shutdown or automated control systems.
Is the BQ2B02000S01 compatible with older ITE panelboards?
Yes, Siemens BQ frame breakers are backwards compatible with legacy ITE panelboards that accept bolt-on BQ breakers, in addition to modern Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
How does the integrated shunt trip operate on this breaker?
The factory-installed shunt trip requires a separate 120V AC control power source. When voltage is applied to the shunt trip leads, the internal mechanism activates and mechanically opens the breaker contacts.
Can the trip settings on the BQ2B02000S01 be adjusted in the field?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory set and cannot be modified.
Are the load lugs included with the BQ2B02000S01?
Yes, the breaker comes standard with load-side lugs installed. They are rated for 14 to 6 AWG copper or 12 to 6 AWG aluminum conductors.
Does the BQ2B02000S01 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker with a shunt trip. It provides overload and short-circuit protection but does not include GFCI or AFCI circuitry.
What is the UPC for cross-referencing the BQ2B02000S01?
The standard UPC for this 20A shunt trip breaker is 783643237728. It may also be listed under legacy ITE part numbers with the exact same catalog designation.
