Product FAQs

8 answers
Can I install the BQD3100 in a standard residential Siemens load center?

No. Although it shares the same 1-inch per pole width as some residential breakers, the BQD3100 features a bolt-on line connection designed exclusively for Siemens commercial P-series panelboards (P1 through P5). It will not fit in plug-on load centers.

Can I use the BQD3100 on a 480V corner-grounded delta system?

No. The 480V rating on the BQD3100 applies only to 480Y/277V solid-grounded wye systems. It is not suitable or UL Listed for 3-phase, 480V grounded B-phase (corner-grounded) delta applications.

What if my P1 panelboard requires a higher interrupting rating than 14kAIC at 480V?

The BQD3100 is strictly rated for 14kAIC at 480Y/277VAC. If your fault current study requires a higher rating, Siemens offers the GB family for the same panelboards, including the NGB (25kAIC), HGB (35kAIC), and LGB (65kAIC) frames.

Is there a DIN rail-mountable equivalent to the BQD3100?

Yes. If your control panel requires DIN rail mounting instead of a bolt-on connection, the Siemens CQD3100 offers the exact same 100A rating and 14kAIC at 480Y/277V in a cable-in/cable-out configuration.

Can the BQD3100 be used in a reverse-feed application?

Yes. The BQD3100 is not marked with line and load restrictions and is UL Listed for reverse-feed applications, making it suitable for back-feeding in compatible panelboards.

Are wire lugs included with the BQD3100?

Yes, the BQD3100 is factory-equipped with load-side lugs that accept 8 to 1 AWG copper or 6 to 1/0 AWG aluminum conductors. The line side uses a bolted connection directly to the panelboard bus.

Where can I find the lug torque specifications for the BQD3100?

Always refer to the manufacturer label on the side of the BQD3100 for exact torque specifications. The required inch-pounds vary depending on the specific conductor size and material (copper or aluminum) being installed.

Is the BQD3100 HACR rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes. This breaker is HACR certified, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 100-amp, 3-pole protective device.
