Product FAQs

8 answers
Which panelboards accept the Siemens QJ22B125H circuit breaker?

This bolt-on QJ frame breaker is designed for installation in Siemens and legacy ITE panelboards and switchboards. Always verify your specific panel's labeling to ensure QJ or QJ2H frame breakers are listed as acceptable branch or main devices.

What is the QR frame replacement for the QJ22B125H?

Siemens has transitioned the legacy QJ frame to the newer QR frame series. The direct replacement for this 125A, 42kAIC breaker is the QR22B125H. The QR frame shares the same physical footprint and panelboard compatibility but adds a push-to-trip button and support for field-installable accessories.

Can internal accessories be field-installed on the QJ22B125H?

No, internal accessories like shunt trips or auxiliary switches must be factory-installed on legacy QJ frame breakers. If you require field-installable accessories, you will need to use the newer QR frame equivalent, the QR22B125H.

What applications is the 42kAIC rating on the QJ22B125H suitable for?

The 42kAIC rating at 240VAC indicates a high interrupting capacity. This makes the breaker suitable for commercial and industrial distribution systems where the available fault current exceeds standard 10kAIC or 22kAIC thresholds.

Is the QJ22B125H suitable for HVAC equipment protection?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it has been tested and approved for the specific inrush currents and operational demands of Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration equipment.

Can the Siemens QJ22B125H be reverse fed?

Yes, this thermal-magnetic circuit breaker supports reverse feeding. It can be back-fed in compatible panelboards or enclosures, provided the installation complies with local electrical codes and panelboard labeling.

What are the lug wire size requirements for the QJ22B125H?

The factory lugs accept 6 AWG to 300 kcmil copper (Cu) or 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum (Al) conductors. Ensure all terminations are torqued to the specifications printed directly on the breaker label to prevent high-resistance connections.

What type of trip unit does the QJ22B125H use?

It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions. The thermal element provides overload protection, while the magnetic element protects against short circuits.
