Designed for advanced control applications, the Siemens BQ3B09000S01 integrates a 120VAC shunt trip for remote disconnect functionality. This 3-pole, 90A molded case circuit breaker is built for commercial and industrial environments. It features a bolt-on mounting style compatible with Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. The unit delivers a 10 kAIC interrupting rating at 240VAC and utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. It includes load side lugs and carries a HACR rating.
Which panelboards accept the Siemens BQ3B09000S01 circuit breaker?
This breaker is engineered for commercial and industrial applications and mounts directly into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is a bolt-on breaker and is not compatible with standard plug-on residential load centers.
What does the 00S01 suffix indicate on this specific BQ frame breaker?
The 00S01 suffix signifies that the breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped from a remote location using a separate control signal.
How is the integrated shunt trip wired for remote operation?
The 120VAC shunt trip mechanism requires a separate 120V control power source. When the control circuit energizes the trip coil, it mechanically opens the breaker contacts to disconnect the load.
Can the shunt trip be used to reset the breaker remotely?
No. A shunt trip is strictly a safety and control mechanism used to remotely open the breaker. Once tripped, the breaker must be manually reset at the panelboard before power can be restored.
What are the wire size requirements for the load lugs?
The factory lugs accept 8 to 1 AWG copper (Cu) conductors or 6 to 1/0 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation to prevent thermal issues.
