A reliable replacement for aging QJ frame installations, the Siemens QJ23B22500S01 is a 225A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It features an integrated 120/240VAC shunt trip mechanism, enabling facility managers to disconnect power from a distance during emergencies. This unit mount breaker fits into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible switchboards. It is officially replaced by the QR23B225 for new applications. It provides 10kAIC at 240VAC and LI protection.
Can the QJ23B22500S01 be installed in a standard residential load center?
No, this QJ frame breaker is a unit mount, bolt-on device designed for commercial and industrial distribution. It is compatible with Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as Siemens switchboards and meter centers.
What does the 00S01 suffix indicate on the QJ23B22500S01 catalog number?
The 00S01 suffix designates that the breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely, which is often required for emergency power-off circuits.
Is there a newer direct replacement for the QJ23B22500S01?
Yes, Siemens has replaced the legacy QJ frame with the newer QR frame. The modern equivalent for the base breaker is the QR23B225. Unlike the QJ series which required factory-installed accessories, the QR series features field-installable internal accessories. To replicate the QJ23B22500S01, you will need the QR23B225 breaker plus a separate 120/240V AC shunt trip kit.
Is the QJ23B22500S01 approved for reverse feed applications?
Yes, Siemens QJ frame molded case circuit breakers are UL Listed for reverse feed applications, allowing them to be back-fed when necessary.
Is this breaker suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, the QJ23B22500S01 is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits.
