Integrating remote shutdown capabilities, the Siemens BQ3B07000S01 features a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip mechanism. This 70-amp thermal-magnetic breaker provides standard protection for commercial systems. It installs into Siemens panelboards using a secure bolt-on mounting style, making it ideal for emergency stop applications. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, this HACR-rated device meets stringent UL 489 standards for reliable facility safety and equipment defense.
What does the 00S01 suffix indicate on the BQ3B07000S01 breaker?
The 00S01 suffix designates a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip mechanism. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely, which is commonly used for emergency stop circuits or automated shutdown systems.
Which panelboards accept the BQ3B07000S01 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on BQ frame breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is also backward compatible with legacy ITE panelboards that accept BQ series breakers.
What are the wire size limits for the BQ3B07000S01 terminals?
The standard lugs accommodate 8 to 1 AWG copper conductors or 6 to 1/0 AWG aluminum conductors. Ensure the wire gauge matches the 70A circuit requirements and is torqued to the manufacturer specifications.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit operate on this breaker?
The BQ3B07000S01 utilizes a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and a fixed magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection. Both functions operate together to protect the circuit conductors from thermal damage and fault currents.
Is the BQ3B07000S01 suitable for systems with high fault currents?
This specific breaker is rated for a maximum of 10kAIC at 240V AC. If your system's available fault current exceeds 10,000 amps, you will need to source a higher-rated alternative, such as the BQH (22kAIC) or HBQ (65kAIC) series.
How is the BQ3B07000S01 mounted in the panel?
It features a bolt-on connection type. The breaker must be bolted directly to the panelboard bus, providing a secure and reliable mechanical and electrical connection suitable for commercial applications.
