Product FAQs

6 answers
Can I install the BQ2B090 in a standard Siemens residential load center?

No. The BQ2B090 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed specifically for commercial Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It will not fit in residential plug-on load centers that require Type QP or QT breakers.

What is the difference between the BQ2B090 and the BQ2B090H?

The standard BQ2B090 has an interrupting rating of 10kAIC at 120/240VAC. The BQ2B090H is the high-interrupting version, rated at 22kAIC. Ensure your panel schedule and fault current requirements match the correct rating before installation.

Does the BQ2B090 come with both line and load side lugs?

Siemens BQ frame circuit breakers are supplied with load side lugs as standard. If line side lugs are required for your specific application, a variant with the L suffix is needed, or the lugs must be ordered separately.

Is the BQ2B090 suitable for HVAC applications?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 90A overcurrent protection device.

Can I use Eaton or Square D bolt-on breakers in place of the Siemens BQ2B090?

No. You must use Siemens BQ frame breakers in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards to maintain the UL listing of the panel. Mixing brands can create improper connections and potential fire hazards.

Can the BQ2B090 replace older ITE bolt-on breakers?

Yes. Siemens acquired ITE, and the current Siemens BQ frame serves as the direct replacement for legacy ITE bolt-on breakers of the same frame size and specifications. Always verify the panel label for approved replacement types.
