Built for heavy-duty commercial environments, this 30A thermal-magnetic breaker delivers robust overcurrent protection with a 65kA interrupting rating at 120V. The bolt-on mounting style ensures a secure connection within Siemens Sentron P1 through P5 panelboards. Equipped with factory-installed load side lugs, it accommodates 14-6 AWG copper or 12-6 AWG aluminum wire. This versatile component includes HACR and HID certifications for heating, cooling, and high-intensity discharge lighting.
What is the difference between the Siemens BQD130 and the CQD130?
Both models share the same frame dimensions and thermal-magnetic trip mechanisms. The BQD130 is designed with a line-side bus tab for bolt-on installation in Siemens panelboards. The CQD130 features mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides, making it suitable for independent surface mounting or DIN rail installation.
Is the BQD130 rated for HID or SWD lighting applications?
The 30A 1-pole BQD130 is tested and marked for HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting circuits. However, it is not marked for SWD (Switching Duty), as Siemens restricts the SWD rating on this frame size to 15A and 20A single-pole breakers.
Can the Siemens BQD130 be reverse fed?
Yes. The BQD series features a non-removable trip unit and is approved for reverse-feed applications in accordance with UL 489 standards.
Is this breaker approved for use with heating and refrigeration equipment?
Yes. The BQD130 carries a standard HACR rating, making it suitable for providing branch-circuit protection for compatible HVAC and refrigeration loads.
What are the terminal temperature requirements for the BQD130 load lug?
The mechanical load-side lug on the BQD130 is UL listed specifically for use with 60-degree and 75-degree Celsius copper or aluminum conductors.
Can the BQD130 be utilized in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes. It carries a DC interrupting rating of 14kA at 125VDC, making it suitable for low-voltage DC control panels or specialized DC power distribution applications.
