Product FAQs
5 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the Siemens BQ1B060H circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is specifically designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It is not compatible with standard plug-on load centers, which typically require QP or QT series breakers.
What is the difference between the Siemens BQ1B060 and the BQ1B060H?
The H in the BQ1B060H catalog number designates a higher interrupting rating. The BQ1B060H is rated at 22kAIC at 120VAC, whereas the standard BQ1B060 is rated at 10kAIC.
How does the BQ1B060H connect to the panelboard bus?
The BQ1B060H features a bolt-on connection type, meaning it physically bolts directly to the panelboard bus bars for a secure, vibration-resistant installation. This is required for Siemens P-series panelboards, unlike the plug-on connections used in residential load centers.
Can I install the BQ1B060H in a GE or Square D panelboard?
No. Siemens circuit breakers are engineered and UL listed exclusively for Siemens panels. Installing this breaker in a GE, Square D, or other third-party panelboard can lead to electrical hazards and will void the safety listings.
What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?
The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit includes both Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) trip functions. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function provides immediate tripping during severe short circuits.
