Product FAQs

5 answers
Which Siemens panelboards accept the QJ23B175H breaker?

This unit mount breaker is designed to bolt directly into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is also compatible with Siemens switchboards and meter centers that accept QJ or QR frame breakers.

What is the current replacement for the legacy QJ23B175H?

The QJ frame has been superseded by the Siemens QR frame series. The HQR23B175 is a direct modern replacement that offers a higher interrupting capacity while fitting the same panelboard spaces.

What are the wire size requirements for the QJ23B175H terminals?

The load lugs accommodate 6 AWG to 300 kcmil for copper conductors, and 4 AWG to 300 kcmil for aluminum conductors.

What does the H suffix in QJ23B175H indicate?

The H designates a high interrupting capacity. This model provides a 42kAIC rating at 240VAC, allowing it to safely clear larger fault currents than standard QJ frame breakers.

How does the trip unit on the QJ23B175H operate?

It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip mechanism with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions. The thermal component responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic component trips immediately during a short circuit.
