Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the BQD140 circuit breaker?

The Siemens BQD140 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for direct installation into Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 series panelboards.

Is the BQD140 suitable for reverse feed applications?

Yes, Siemens BQD series circuit breakers, including the BQD140, are UL Listed for reverse feed applications.

Does the BQD140 carry HACR or HID ratings?

Yes, the 40-amp, 1-pole BQD140 is both HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) marked and HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting rated. Note that SWD (Switching Duty) ratings only apply to 15A and 20A models in this series.

What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the BQD140?

The BQD140 features factory-installed load-side lugs that accept 14 to 6 AWG copper (Cu) wire or 12 to 6 AWG aluminum (Al) wire. The line side bolts directly to the panelboard bus.

Can the BQD140 be mounted on a DIN rail?

The BQD140 is natively a bolt-on breaker for panelboards. However, it can be DIN rail mounted using a compatible Siemens DIN rail mounting adapter clip. Alternatively, the Siemens CQD series is the dedicated DIN rail-mounted equivalent.

Can I add a shunt trip or auxiliary switch to the BQD140?

No. Internal accessories like shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and alarm switches mount on the left side of the breaker and are not available for single-pole BQD breakers like the BQD140. You would need a 2-pole or 3-pole breaker to install these accessories.
