The Siemens BQ1B015 is a bolt-on style breaker from the Siemens BQ series, designed for use in compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards and loadcentres (including select EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept bolt-on BQ/BA-style breakers). It is not interchangeable with plug-in QP/QT-style loadcentres.
Bolt-on mounting makes it well-suited for commercial and light industrial panelboards where a secure, vibration-resistant connection is required. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
The BQ series uses a bolt-on connection to the bus bar, whereas the QP/QT series use a plug-in clip. These two mounting styles are not interchangeable. You must confirm your panelboard accepts bolt-on BQ/BA-type breakers before ordering. If you're unsure, send us your panel model and we can help verify the correct fit.
The Siemens BQ series has seen limited availability in recent years, and certain configurations can be difficult to source through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete breakers — contact us for current stock availability and lead times on the BQ1B015.
No — the BQ1B015 is a standard single-pole, full-size bolt-on breaker and is not a tandem (half-size) device. If you need to add circuits to a full bolt-on panel, you would require a specifically rated tandem bolt-on breaker that your panelboard supports. Contact us and we can help identify the right solution for your panel.
