Built for heavy-duty environments, the 60-amp BQH series breaker ensures consistent thermal-magnetic trip performance. It is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern commercial facilities. The unit fastens securely into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards, providing a stable connection. Facility managers can also utilize it as a cross-reference alternative for THQB2160 or BAB2060H installations. A factory-sealed common trip makes it ideal for air conditioning circuits.

Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards accept the BQ2B060H circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It requires a bolted connection to the bus and cannot be installed in standard plug-on load centers.
Is the Siemens BQ2B060H HACR rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 60A, 2-pole overcurrent protection device.
What is the difference between the Siemens BQ2B060 and the BQ2B060H?
The difference lies in the short-circuit interrupting rating. The standard BQ2B060 is rated for 10kAIC, whereas the BQ2B060H is a high-interrupting variant rated for 22kAIC at 120/240VAC.
Can the BQ2B060H be used in reverse feed applications?
Yes. Standard Siemens BQH series thermal-magnetic breakers are not marked with LINE and LOAD designations, making them suitable for reverse feed installations per UL 489 guidelines.
Does the BQ2B060H include ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The BQ2B060H is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker equipped with long-time and instantaneous trip functions. It does not provide GFCI or AFCI protection.
What are common cross-reference alternatives for the BQ2B060H?
Facility managers often use the BQ2B060H as a cross-reference alternative for GE THQB2160 or Eaton BAB2060H installations, though it must be installed in compatible Siemens panelboards to maintain UL listing.
