Product FAQs
7 answers
Does the "HQR" prefix indicate a specific interrupting rating?
Yes, the "HQR" designation stands for High Interrupting Capacity, rating this breaker at 65kA at 240V. For comparison, standard QR2 frame breakers are rated at 10kA, and QRH2 frames are rated at 25kA.
Can the HQR23B200 replace an older HQJ23B200 breaker?
Yes, Siemens designed the QR frame as the direct replacement for the legacy QJ frame. The HQR23B200 will serve as an exact replacement for the obsolete 200A 3-pole HQJ23B200 in existing panelboards and switchboards.
Is the HQR23B200 compatible with legacy Siemens ITE panels?
Yes, because the QR frame replaces the legacy QJ footprint, this breaker can be installed in older Siemens or ITE panelboards and motor control centers that originally housed QJ, QJH, or HQJ frame breakers.
Can the HQR23B200 be reverse-fed for back-feeding applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for reverse feeding, meaning it can be safely back-fed when required by your specific panelboard or switchboard application.
Is this circuit breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the HQR23B200 carries a Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HACR) rating, making it suitable for use with HVAC equipment that requires HACR-rated overcurrent protection.
What does the "LI" trip function mean on this breaker?
The "LI" designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit includes both Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The Long-Time function protects against overloads, while the Instantaneous function provides immediate tripping during short-circuit faults.
What is the benefit of the trip-free mechanism on the HQR23B200?
A trip-free mechanism ensures the breaker will trip during an overload or short circuit even if the operating handle is physically held or locked in the ON position, preventing unsafe override conditions.
