Delivering precise thermal-magnetic protection, the Siemens CQD215 is a 2-pole, 15A molded case circuit breaker. It provides dependable long-time and instantaneous trip functions for commercial applications. The unit mounts easily into DIN rail enclosures and OEM panels, featuring a trip-free mechanism. Rated at 65kAIC at 240VAC, it ensures robust fault clearing. It is HACR, HID, and reverse-feed rated, making it ideal for HVAC and lighting systems.
What is the difference between Siemens CQD and BQD circuit breakers?
Both are part of the Siemens SENTRON frame group and share identical electrical characteristics and a 1-inch per pole width. The difference is the mounting style. CQD breakers are designed for 35mm DIN rail mounting, whereas BQD breakers are panel-mounted or bolted directly to a surface.
Can the Siemens CQD215 be reverse fed?
Yes, Siemens CQD circuit breakers are UL Listed for reverse feed applications. Because they lack specific line and load markings, power can be supplied from either the top or bottom terminals.
Is the CQD215 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, Siemens CQD breakers in the 15A to 100A range are HACR rated, making this 15A breaker suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor group applications.
Does the CQD215 support direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is UL Listed for DC applications up to 125/250VDC with a 14kAIC interrupting rating, which is common in control panels and OEM equipment.
Can I use the CQD215 in a standard residential load center?
No, the CQD215 is a DIN rail mounted breaker designed for industrial control panels, DIN rail enclosures, and specific Siemens commercial panelboards like the P1, P2, and P3 series. It is not a plug-in breaker and will not fit in standard residential load centers that require QP type breakers.
Are the line and load lugs included with the CQD215?
Yes, the breaker comes standard with factory-installed feed-thru lugs on both the line and load sides, accepting 14-6 AWG copper or 12-6 AWG aluminum conductors.
Does the CQD215 carry a CE mark for European applications?
Yes, Siemens CQD breakers in the 15A to 30A range meet IEC 60947-2 standards and carry the CE mark, making them suitable for global OEM equipment designs.
