Built for demanding commercial environments, the Siemens BQ3B025H is a three-pole, 25A molded case circuit breaker. Operating at 240VAC, this high-interrupting device uses thermal-magnetic technology to deliver reliable protection. The bolt-on design ensures a secure connection when installed into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as legacy ITE panels. With an elevated 22kAIC rating, this breaker safely clears higher fault currents and is HACR rated for HVAC circuits.
