A reliable choice for commercial facilities, the Siemens HQR22B150 is a 2-pole, 150A molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip technology to protect critical distribution circuits from overloads. This bolt-on MCCB mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible switchboards. It functions as a seamless replacement for legacy QJ frame breakers. Rated for 65kAIC at 240VAC, this breaker features a push-to-trip button and is fully HACR rated.
Can the Siemens HQR22B150 replace an older QJ frame breaker?
Yes. The Siemens QR frame is the direct successor to the legacy QJ frame. The HQR22B150 shares the same form factor and mounting as legacy QJ frame breakers, making it a seamless retrofit for existing panelboards and switchboards.
What is the difference between the QR22B150 and the HQR22B150?
The difference is the interrupting rating. The standard QR22B150 is rated for 10kAIC at 240V, while the HQR22B150 is a high-interrupting breaker rated for 65kAIC at 240V.
Does the HQR22B150 require a mounting kit for Siemens P1 panelboards?
Yes. When installing this breaker as a main or subfeed in a Siemens Revised P1 panelboard, you will need a mounting kit. Use the MBKQR1 kit for single-phase systems or the MBKQR3 kit for three-phase systems.
What is the lug torque specification for the HQR22B150?
For the standard aluminum or copper lugs, torque the wire grip screws to 100 in-lb for 3 AWG to 1/0 AWG wire, and 225 in-lb for 2/0 AWG to 300 kcmil wire. Always verify the exact torque requirements on the breaker label before terminating.
Will the HQR22B150 fit in a standard residential load center?
No. The HQR22B150 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial distribution equipment, such as Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards or switchboards. It is not compatible with residential plug-on load centers that use QP or QT breakers.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the HQR22B150?
No. The HQR22B150 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It does not offer adjustable long-time or instantaneous settings.
