Designed for Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards, this 35-amp single-pole breaker offers dependable thermal-magnetic trip functionality for commercial facilities. The unit features a trip-free mechanism that prevents the contacts from being held closed during a fault condition. With a 65kAIC rating at 120VAC and 14kAIC at 277VAC, it easily manages high fault currents. Reverse feed capability and dual HACR/HID ratings make it highly adaptable for specialized HVAC and lighting applications.
Is the Siemens BQD135 rated for HVAC and lighting applications?
Yes, this 35A breaker is HACR rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. It is also HID rated for switching high-intensity discharge lighting loads. Note that SWD ratings for fluorescent lighting only apply to 15A and 20A models in the BQD series.
What is the difference between Siemens BQD and CQD circuit breakers?
BQD breakers are designed to bolt directly onto the bus of Siemens panelboards. CQD breakers share the same internal mechanisms and electrical ratings but are designed for DIN rail or surface mounting in control panels and OEM equipment.
Can the BQD135 be reverse fed?
Yes, Siemens BQD molded case circuit breakers are suitable for reverse feed applications. They can be back-fed when used with an appropriate hold-down kit, such as the MBKBFA, in compatible panelboards.
How does the BQD135 install into Siemens panelboards?
The BQD135 is a bolt-on breaker that mounts directly to the bus bar in Siemens SENTRON P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 distribution panelboards. It requires a bolted connection on the line side and uses a standard mechanical lug on the load side.
What is the recommended terminal torque for the BQD135 lugs?
The load lugs on 15A to 40A BQD breakers should be torqued to 2.8 Nm, which is approximately 25 lb-in. Always verify the exact torque specifications printed on the side of the breaker before finalizing wire connections.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the BQD135?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory calibrated and cannot be field adjusted.
