Engineered for commercial and industrial power distribution, the Siemens BQ3B090 is a 3-pole, 90A molded case circuit breaker. It provides essential overcurrent and short-circuit protection for demanding electrical systems. This bolt-on unit installs seamlessly into Siemens P1 and legacy ITE panelboards. It serves as an exact cross-reference for BAB3090 and THQB32090 breakers. Rated for 10 kAIC at 240VAC, it features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit and includes load side lugs.
What panelboards are compatible with the BQ3B090 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1 commercial panelboards, as well as legacy ITE panelboards.
Are there higher interrupting rating equivalents for the BQ3B090?
Yes. If your system requires a higher fault rating than 10kAIC, you can use the BQ3B090H for 22kAIC or the HB3B090 for 65kAIC applications.
Is the Siemens BQ3B090 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can I install the BQ3B090 in a standard residential load center?

Can this 240V breaker be used on a 208Y/120V 3-phase system?
Yes, the 240VAC maximum voltage rating makes it fully compatible with standard 208Y/120V 3-phase, 4-wire systems commonly found in commercial facilities.
