Engineered for commercial power distribution, the Siemens QJ23B090 is a 3-pole, 90A molded case circuit breaker from the SENTRON family. It provides robust overcurrent protection for demanding electrical systems. This unit mount MCCB installs into Siemens meter centers, panelboards, and switchboards. It accepts 6 AWG to 300 kcmil copper wire via standard lug terminals. Rated for 10kA at 240VAC, it features fixed thermal magnetic trip settings, is HACR rated, and supports reverse feed.
What is the modern replacement for the Siemens QJ23B090?
The QJ frame is a legacy design that has been superseded by the QR frame. The direct modern equivalent is the QR23B090. When upgrading an older panelboard from a QJ to a QR frame, a specific retrofit mounting kit may be required depending on the enclosure.
Which Siemens enclosures accept the QJ23B090?
This unit-mount breaker is compatible with Siemens meter centers, panelboards, and switchboards designed for QJ or QR frame breakers. It requires a bolt-on connection and cannot be used in standard plug-on load centers.
Are the lugs on the QJ23B090 rated for aluminum wire?
Yes, the factory-installed lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. They accommodate 6 AWG to 300 kcmil copper wire, and 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum wire. Ensure proper application of joint compound when terminating aluminum conductors.
Does the QJ23B090 allow for field-adjustable trip settings?
No. The thermal-magnetic trip unit features fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous trip functions. If your application requires adjustable coordination, a breaker with an electronic trip unit is required.
Can the QJ23B090 be installed in a 480V panel?
No. This breaker is strictly rated for a maximum of 240VAC. Installing it in a 480V or 277/480V system exceeds its voltage rating and creates a severe safety hazard.
