Product FAQs
7 answersWhat panelboards accept the Siemens BQ2B060 circuit breaker?
This molded case circuit breaker is designed specifically for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards.
How is the BQ2B060 connected to the panelboard?
The BQ2B060 uses a bolted line-side connection that fastens directly to the panelboard bus bars. This provides a highly secure, vibration-resistant electrical connection.
Are mounting lugs included with the standard BQ2B060?
Standard BQ bolt-on circuit breakers are factory-supplied with load-side lugs. The line side bolts directly to the panelboard bus. If your application requires line-side lugs instead of a bus connection, you must order the breaker with an 'L' suffix.
What are the wire size and temperature rating requirements for this 60A breaker?
The terminal lugs accept 8-1 AWG copper or 6-1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Because this breaker is rated above 50 amps, UL standards require all connected conductors to be rated for 75 degrees Celsius.
Are there equivalent 60A BQ breakers with higher interrupting ratings?
Yes. If your electrical system has an available fault current higher than 10kA, you can upgrade to the BQ2B060H (rated for 22kAIC) or the HB2B060 (rated for 65kAIC).
Is the BQ2B060 rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) rated. It is approved for use with motor group applications commonly found in commercial HVAC systems.
Does this 2-pole breaker provide common-trip protection?
Yes. The BQ2B060 utilizes an internal common-trip mechanism. A fault or overload on either phase will force both poles to trip simultaneously, completely de-energizing the circuit.
