Built for demanding electrical systems, this 80A, 1-pole MCCB delivers robust thermal-magnetic protection. The Siemens CQD180 is designed to protect commercial and industrial branch circuits against overloads and short circuits. Designed for flexible installation, the breaker mounts onto DIN rails within compatible OEM enclosures and control panels. It utilizes standard line and load lugs. With a 14kAIC rating at 277V, it includes HACR certification and allows for reverse feed applications.
How does the Siemens CQD180 mount in an enclosure?
This breaker is designed for DIN rail mounting in compatible enclosures. It features a feed-thru connection type with standard lugs on both the line and load sides.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the CQD180?
The factory lugs accept 8 to 1 AWG copper wire or 6 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Can the CQD180 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 125VDC, where it provides a 14kA interrupting rating.
What frame family does the CQD180 belong to?
It is part of the Siemens Sentron series and belongs to the BQD/CQD frame group. It shares similar physical dimensions with BQD breakers but is specifically configured for DIN rail mounting.
How does the interrupting rating change based on the system voltage for the CQD180?
The breaker provides a 65kAIC rating at 120VAC and 240VAC. When applied at 277VAC or 125VDC, the interrupting rating drops to 14kAIC.
What type of trip unit is installed in the CQD180?
It features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit providing long time and instantaneous (LI) protection. Both the thermal and magnetic trip points are non-adjustable.
What is the difference between the Siemens BQD180 and the CQD180?
While both are 80A, 1-pole breakers in the same frame family, the BQD180 is designed for panelboard mounting, whereas the CQD180 is designed for DIN rail mounting.
