The HQR23B125L is a 3-pole, 125-amp molded case circuit breaker from Siemens' SENTRON family. Built for commercial and industrial applications, it features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection functions. This unit mount breaker includes factory-installed line and load side lugs for easy feed-thru connection. Rated at 65kAIC at 240VAC, it serves as a direct replacement for legacy QJ frame breakers in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the HQR23B125L?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It can be applied as either a main or subfeed breaker depending on the panel configuration.
What is the difference between the QR23B125L and the HQR23B125L?
The HQR23B125L is the high-interrupting version of the standard QR23B125L. While the standard QR frame is rated for 10kAIC at 240V, the HQR frame provides a 65kAIC rating for systems with higher available fault current.
Can the HQR23B125L replace older QJ frame breakers?
Yes, the QR frame series is the direct replacement for legacy Siemens QJ frame breakers. The HQR23B125L will fit in the same unit mount spaces in P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
Does the HQR23B125L come with line and load lugs?
Yes, the L suffix in the catalog number indicates that factory-installed lugs are included. These terminals accept 3 AWG through 300 kcmil aluminum or copper wire.
How is the HQR23B125L installed in a panelboard?
This is a unit mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It secures directly to the panelboard bus using bolted connections, providing a stable and reliable contact for commercial and industrial applications.
What protection functions are provided by the LI trip unit?
The thermal magnetic trip unit includes fixed long-time (L) protection for overload conditions and instantaneous (I) protection for short circuits.
