Engineered for commercial applications, the Siemens QJ23B090L is a 3-pole, 90A MCCB from the QJ frame family. It delivers reliable protection using a fixed thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. This unit mount breaker includes line and load side lugs for installation in individual enclosures and meter centers. The legacy QJ series is replaced by the newer QR23B090L. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, it is HACR rated and supports reverse feed wiring.
What is the difference between the Siemens QJ23B090 and the QJ23B090L?
The L suffix in the QJ23B090L catalog number indicates that the breaker comes factory-equipped with line and load side lugs. The standard QJ23B090 typically requires lugs to be sourced separately depending on the specific panelboard or switchboard application.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy QJ23B090L circuit breaker?
The legacy Siemens QJ frame series has been superseded by the newer QR frame series. The direct replacement for this 90A breaker is the QR23B090L. Be aware that installing a QR frame breaker in older panels may require a specific retrofit mounting kit.
Can the QJ23B090L be reverse fed?
Yes, this breaker supports reverse feed wiring. Because it utilizes a fixed thermal magnetic trip mechanism and does not have dedicated line and load terminal markings, it is suitable for backfeeding in field applications.
Is the QJ23B090L suitable for use with HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is tested and approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads.
What type of enclosures accept the QJ23B090L breaker?
This unit mount breaker features a feed-thru connection type designed for installation in Siemens individual enclosures, meter centers, and custom control panels that accommodate the QJ frame footprint.
