Designed to safeguard commercial systems, the Siemens QJ23B100 is a 100A, 3-pole MCCB. It features a non-interchangeable LI trip unit for precise overload and short-circuit response. Equipped with a bolt-on connection, it integrates into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. As part of the legacy QJ family, this model is replaced by the QR23B100 for modern retrofits. This 240VAC breaker provides a 10kAIC rating, includes load lugs, and is HACR certified.
Can I replace a legacy ITE QJ23B100 with this Siemens model?
Yes. Siemens acquired the ITE product line, making this breaker a direct form and fit replacement for older ITE or Gould QJ23B100 models in existing switchboards and panelboards.
What is the modern equivalent if I am upgrading from the QJ series?
The Siemens QR23B100 is the current replacement for the legacy QJ frame. When retrofitting, you will likely need a cover plate kit from Siemens to properly adapt the panelboard deadfront from the QJ to the new QR series.
Is the QJ23B100 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Standard Siemens QJ breakers feature a fixed, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit, making them safely suitable for reverse feeding in compliance with UL 489 standards.
Does this breaker require a separate lug kit?
No, the mechanical load lugs are factory installed and ready for terminating properly sized copper or aluminum conductors. Always apply the specific tightening torque printed on the breaker faceplate.
Is this circuit breaker approved for HVAC equipment?
Yes, it is HACR rated. This certifies the breaker can safely handle the unique inrush currents of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration compressors without nuisance tripping.
What is the standard ambient temperature rating for this breaker?
The QJ23B100 is calibrated for operation at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Any installation in an environment exceeding this temperature limit requires proper ampacity derating.
