Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the HQR23B225H?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards and enclosures.
Can the HQR23B225H replace older HQJ frame breakers?
Yes, the HQR23B225H is part of the QJ/QR frame group and serves as a direct replacement for the older HQJ23B225H model in Siemens power distribution systems.
Why choose the HQR23B225H over standard QR frame breakers?
The HQR23B225H is engineered with an extra-high interrupting capacity of 100kA at 240V. This makes it necessary for commercial and industrial systems with severe available fault currents where standard 10kA or 65kA QR breakers would not meet code requirements.
Are the trip settings on the HQR23B225H adjustable?
No, this breaker features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings for long-time and instantaneous protection.
What type of wire is compatible with the factory lugs?
The included lugs are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, accepting wire sizes ranging from 3 AWG up to 300 kcmil.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, the HQR23B225H is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker. It provides basic overload and short-circuit protection but does not include integrated ground fault (GFCI) or arc fault (AFCI) circuitry.
