Siemens Industrial Controls BQ2B060QXD Breaker
The Siemens BQ2B060QXD is a heavy-duty 60 Amp 2 Pole Breaker engineered for reliable performance in Siemens panelboards and industrial control applications. This Type BQXD molded case circuit breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, providing essential protection against both sustained overloads and high-current short circuit events. Designed with a bolt-on mounting style, it ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection to the bus bar, minimizing potential hot spots in high-draw HVACR and industrial circuits.
Operating at 120/240V AC, this dual pole breaker features a 10kA AIC rating, making it suitable for standard commercial and residential branch circuit applications. The common-trip design ensures that an overcurrent event on either pole will simultaneously disconnect both legs of the circuit, preventing single-phasing on 240V equipment like compressors and motors. With integrated load-side quick-connect terminals and a DIN rail mounting option, the BQ2B060QXD offers the versatility required for rapid installation and field replacements in compact enclosures.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- HACR Rated: Certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment involving motor-driven loads.
- High-Conductivity Termination: Features robust lugs for line-side connections and quick-connect terminals for load-side wiring, ensuring low contact resistance.
- Standardized Frame: Fits seamlessly into Siemens BQ series compatible enclosures and panelboards without requiring specialized adapter hardware.
- Toggle Actuator: Clear "On/Off/Trip" visual indicators allow for fast diagnostic checks and circuit status identification in the field.
- Rugged Housing: The black molded case is built to withstand the thermal stress of continuous operation at a 40°C ambient rating.
Is the Siemens BQ2B060QXD interchangeable with other breaker brands?
No. While some breakers may share physical dimensions, this unit is specifically designed and UL-listed for Siemens panels. Using non-specified breakers can lead to poor bus bar contact and overheating.
What is the maximum wire size for the terminals?
This 60 amp breaker typically accepts 8 to 4 AWG copper or 8 to 2 AWG aluminum wire, allowing for flexible conductor choices based on run length and load requirements.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
The BQ2B060QXD is a standard thermal-magnetic branch circuit breaker. It is intended for overcurrent protection and does not include ground-fault or arc-fault interrupting technology.
