Designed for remote shutdown applications, this 125A molded case circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. The 3-pole SENTRON device delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial facilities. It mounts into Siemens meter centers, panelboards, and switchboards. For modern replacements, this QJ frame transitions to the QR23B125, requiring a separate S01QR2 shunt trip accessory. Operating at 10kAIC at 240VAC, the breaker is HACR and reverse feed rated.
What is the modern replacement for the QJ23B12500S01 circuit breaker?
The direct modern replacement is the Siemens QR23B125. Because the QJ23B12500S01 includes a factory-installed shunt trip, you will also need to purchase the S01QR2 shunt trip accessory. The QR frame shares the same form factor and mounting for an easy retrofit.
What does the 00S01 suffix mean on this Siemens QJ breaker?
The 00S01 suffix indicates the breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely, which is commonly used for emergency shutdown applications.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the QJ23B12500S01?
The standard lugs accept 6 AWG to 300 kcmil copper conductors, or 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum conductors.
Which enclosures are designed to accept the QJ23B12500S01?
This QJ frame breaker is designed for use in commercial Siemens meter centers, panelboards, and switchboards that accept unit mount, bolt-on breakers.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
No. The QJ23B12500S01 features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions. Neither the thermal overload nor the instantaneous short-circuit settings can be adjusted in the field.
How is the QJ23B12500S01 installed in a panel?
This is a unit mount circuit breaker, meaning it bolts directly into the panelboard or switchboard chassis rather than plugging onto a busbar.
Is the QJ23B12500S01 suitable for reverse feeding and HVAC equipment?
Yes, this circuit breaker is both reverse feed rated and HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
