Part of the Siemens BQ family, this high-interrupting 60-amp breaker offers robust thermal-magnetic trip functions for industrial systems. The three-pole unit mounts firmly into compatible commercial panelboards via a secure bolt-on configuration. With an elevated 22kAIC rating and HACR certification, it delivers dependable performance for motor and HVAC branch circuits.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Siemens BQ3B060H circuit breaker?
This BQ frame breaker is designed to bolt directly into Siemens panelboards, including P1, P2, and P3 series panels that are configured to accept bolt-on branch breakers.
How is the Siemens BQ3B060H installed in the panelboard?
The BQ3B060H features a bolt-on connection. It bolts directly to the panelboard bus bar, providing a secure, vibration-resistant mechanical and electrical connection suitable for commercial and industrial environments.
What does the H in the BQ3B060H catalog number signify?
The H designates this as a high-interrupting capacity breaker within the Siemens BQ series. It provides an interrupting rating of 22kAIC at 240VAC, which is higher than the 10kAIC rating found on standard BQ breakers.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit in the BQ3B060H operate?
The breaker uses a fixed thermal element to provide long-time protection against sustained overloads, combined with a fixed magnetic element for instantaneous tripping during high-current short circuits.
Can the BQ3B060H be used to replace a standard BQ3B060?
Yes. The BQ3B060H shares the exact same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting as the standard BQ3B060. It can be used as a direct replacement or upgrade when a higher 22kAIC fault current rating is required.
Is the BQ3B060H interchangeable with Siemens BL or BQD frame breakers?
No. Although they may share similar electrical ratings, BQ, BL, and BQD frames have different physical profiles and bus attachment designs. You must use the specific breaker frame listed on your panelboard interior label.
