Product FAQs

6 answers
What is the difference between the Siemens BQ3B090 and the BQ3B090H?

The standard BQ3B090 has an interrupting rating of 10kAIC at 240VAC. The H in the BQ3B090H catalog number designates a high-interrupting capacity of 22kAIC, which is required for electrical systems with higher available fault currents.

Which panelboards accept the BQ3B090H circuit breaker?

This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1 panelboards. It is also backward compatible with legacy ITE panelboards that accept BQ frame breakers.

Can I use the BQ3B090H to replace an older ITE circuit breaker?

Yes. Siemens acquired ITE and continues to manufacture the BQ frame. The BQ3B090H serves as a direct replacement for older 90A, 3-pole ITE BQ-type bolt-on breakers that require a 22kAIC rating.

Is the BQ3B090H suitable for HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is tested and approved to handle the specific inrush currents and operational demands of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Does the BQ3B090H come with lugs included?

Yes, the breaker includes factory-installed load-side lugs that accept 6 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire. It utilizes a bolt-on connection for secure mounting to the panelboard bus.

Are the trip settings on the BQ3B090H adjustable?

No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The long-time (thermal) and instantaneous (magnetic) trip functions are factory-set for 90-amp protection and cannot be adjusted in the field.
