Product FAQs

8 answers
Which Siemens panelboards accept the BQD380 breaker?

This bolt-on branch circuit breaker is exclusively engineered for Siemens P-Series lighting and distribution panelboards, including the P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 models. It will not physically fit or bolt into standard residential load centers or competing commercial panelboards.

Can I use the Siemens BQD380 in place of an older ITE BQD380?

Yes. Because Siemens acquired the ITE electrical division, the modern Siemens BQD380 serves as an exact, direct replacement for legacy ITE BQD380 models without requiring any field modifications.

What is the difference between the Siemens BQD380 and the CQD380?

While both breakers share identical 80A, 3-pole electrical ratings, their mounting connections differ. The BQD380 is a bolt-on breaker intended for panelboard bus mounting. The CQD380 is a cable-in, cable-out model designed for independent DIN rail or surface mounting.

What wire gauge sizes are compatible with the load lugs on the BQD380?

When wiring the BQD380, the standard load-end lugs accommodate 8 to 1 AWG copper (Cu) or 6 to 1/0 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors. Always use the specified tightening torque printed on the breaker label to ensure a secure and compliant connection.

Is the trip unit on the BQD380 adjustable for specific coordination applications?

No, this breaker utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip thresholds are factory calibrated and cannot be modified in the field.

Does the BQD380 provide equipment ground fault or arc fault protection?

No. The BQD380 strictly provides standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It does not include integral ground fault (GFCI, EPD) or arc fault (AFCI) sensing components.

Is the Siemens BQD380 suitable for reverse feed applications?

Yes, the BQD series is approved for reverse feeding. Because the internal thermal-magnetic mechanisms are not directionally dependent, line and load connections can be swapped if permitted by your local electrical code and specific panel design.

Can the BQD380 be used as a switch to control high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting?

No. Only 1-pole BQD models up to 50A carry HID or SWD (Switching Duty) ratings. The 3-pole BQD380 is not UL listed to act as a direct switch for these specific lighting circuits.
