Built for circuit protection, the Siemens BQD6130 is a 1-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 30A at 347VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 10kA at 347VAC and uses the BQD frame and series. The breaker features bolt-on mounting and a thermal magnetic trip with long-time and instantaneous protection. The conductor temperature rating is 60/75 °C.
How should I use the 30A rating when selecting the Siemens BQD6130?
The 30A rating is the breaker's nominal current rating. Coordinate it with the circuit load and conductor ampacity when selecting circuit protection.
What circuit voltage and pole configuration should I check before selecting this breaker?
The Siemens BQD6130 is a 1-pole, single-phase breaker rated 347VAC. Check the circuit voltage and required number of protected poles against these ratings.
How does the interrupting rating affect where I can use this breaker?
Its interrupting rating is 10kA at 347VAC. The available fault current at the installation point must not exceed that rating.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip protect the circuit?
The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element responds rapidly to short-circuit current. This combines overload and short-circuit protection in one breaker.
Can I adjust the overload or instantaneous trip settings?
Both the thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed. Select the breaker with the required protection characteristics rather than planning to tune its trip settings during installation.
How do the 60/75 °C conductor ratings affect wire selection?
Use the 60/75 °C conductor temperature ratings when determining allowable conductor ampacity under the applicable installation rules. Conductor insulation temperature alone does not determine the ampacity permitted at a termination.
What does bolt-on construction mean for installation?
The mounting and terminal connections are bolt-on. Plan for mechanically secured bolted mounting and electrical connections rather than plug-in installation.
Why does CSA approval matter when selecting this breaker?
CSA approval is relevant when a project requires CSA-approved electrical equipment. Check that approval against the project's electrical approval and inspection requirements.
