Operating as a critical safety component, the Siemens BQD350 is a 3-pole, 50-amp molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements to defend commercial electrical systems against damaging overloads and short circuits. This unit features a bolt-on mounting style compatible with Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. The breaker provides a 14kAIC interrupting capacity at 480Y/277VAC. It is HACR rated for HVAC equipment and supports reverse feed applications.
It is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards that are configured to accept bolt-on branch breakers.
How should the BQD350 terminal lugs be wired?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept 8 to 1 AWG copper wire or 6 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Always ensure conductors are appropriately sized for 50 amps and torqued to the specifications printed on the breaker label.
Can the BQD350 be used in DC applications?
Yes. In addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated to interrupt 14kA at 125/250V DC, making it suitable for direct current circuits within its voltage and 50A capacity limits.
What is the difference between Siemens BQD and CQD circuit breakers?
While they share the same physical frame size, BQD breakers like the BQD350 are bolt-on components designed exclusively for Siemens panelboards. CQD breakers are designed to mount onto standard 35mm DIN rails for industrial control panels and OEM equipment.
What does the LI trip function code mean on the BQD350?
The BQD350 uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit. It provides fixed long-time (L) thermal protection against standard overloads and fixed instantaneous (I) magnetic protection to immediately clear short circuits.
Is the BQD350 a bolt-on or plug-in breaker?
The BQD350 is a bolt-on breaker. It must be mechanically bolted directly to the panelboard bus, providing a highly secure connection that is ideal for commercial environments where vibrations could loosen plug-on configurations.
Is the BQD350 suitable for protecting air conditioning equipment?
Yes. The BQD350 is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration equipment that requires a 50A, 3-pole breaker.
