Product FAQs
8 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the Siemens BQD280 circuit breaker?
The BQD280 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed specifically for use with Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the BQD280?
The factory-installed lugs on the BQD280 accept 8-1 AWG copper (Cu) or 6-1/0 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors.
What is the difference between Siemens BQD and CQD frame circuit breakers?
While both share the same frame size and electrical ratings, BQD breakers like the BQD280 are designed for bolt-on installation in panelboards. CQD breakers are designed for independent mounting on a standard DIN rail or for surface mounting.
Is the Siemens BQD280 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, Siemens BQD series circuit breakers, including the 80A BQD280, are suitable for reverse feed applications.
Is the BQD280 HACR rated?
Yes, Siemens BQD breakers in the 15A to 100A range are HACR rated, making the BQD280 suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can the BQD280 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, the BQD280 is rated for DC applications up to 125/250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 14kAIC for direct current circuits.
Does the BQD280 feature adjustable trip settings?
No, the BQD280 has a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
How does the BQD280 mount into the panelboard?
The BQD280 features a bolt-on connection type, securing directly to the busbars of compatible Siemens panelboards rather than snapping into place.
