Built for residential and commercial applications, the Siemens HQ2200BH is a 2-pole, 200A miniature circuit breaker. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for main service and heavy-duty branch circuits. This plug-on breaker requires a four-pole width (four spaces) for installation. It mounts into compatible Siemens meter combinations and service entrance load centers. Featuring an extra-high interrupting capacity, this unit is rated for 100kAIC at 120/240VAC and is HACR rated.

Product FAQs
6 answers
Which Siemens enclosures are compatible with the HQ2200BH?
This breaker is specifically designed for use in Siemens meter combinations and service entrance load centers that accept the HQPPH frame type.
How many panel spaces does the HQ2200BH require?
Although it is a 2-pole breaker, the large HQPPH frame requires four standard panel spaces for installation in a service entrance load center.
Do I need special lugs to terminate aluminum wire on the HQ2200BH?
No, the factory-installed lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 1 AWG to 300 kcmil.
What applications require the 100kAIC rating of the HQ2200BH?
The 100kAIC interrupting rating is typically required for service entrance applications or commercial installations where the available fault current from the utility exceeds standard 10kAIC or 22kAIC limits.
Can the trip curve be adjusted on the HQ2200BH?
No, this breaker features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and instantaneous settings. It cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the HQ2200BH require mounting hardware?
No, it utilizes a plug-in connection style that mounts directly onto the busbars of compatible Siemens load centers without requiring bolt-on hardware.
