Product FAQs

6 answers
How is the Siemens CQD240 circuit breaker mounted?

The CQD240 is designed to be independently mounted on a customer-supplied DIN rail or bolted directly to a surface. It features line and load side lugs for feed-thru connections.

What is the difference between Siemens CQD and BQD circuit breakers?

While both share the same 1-inch per pole frame size, CQD breakers like the CQD240 have lugs on both the line and load ends for DIN rail or surface mounting. BQD breakers are designed for panelboard mounting and typically only have lugs on the load end.

Can the Siemens CQD240 be reverse fed?

Yes, Siemens CQD series circuit breakers, including the CQD240, are UL Listed for reverse feed applications.

Is the CQD240 breaker HACR rated?

Yes, this breaker is HACR marked, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Can I add accessories like a shunt trip or auxiliary switch to the CQD240?

Yes, field-addable accessories such as shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and alarm switches are available for the CQD frame. These add-on modules attach to the left side of the circuit breaker.

Can the CQD240 be used on a 480V grounded B-phase delta system?

No, Siemens CQD breakers are not suitable for 3-phase delta 480V AC grounded B-phase applications.
