The Siemens BQ1B015H is a BQ-series bolt-on breaker, designed to fit Siemens/ITE panelboards and loadcentres that accept bolt-on style breakers — including compatible Siemens/ITE EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels. The bolt-on design (as opposed to plug-in) provides a more secure mechanical connection, making it well-suited for both residential and light commercial panelboard applications rated for 120V single-pole positions.
Not all Siemens panels accept the BQ bolt-on frame — plug-in QP/QT panels require a different series. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm the right fit.
The BQ series uses a bolt-on connection that physically fastens to the panelboard bus bar with a screw, providing a more secure and vibration-resistant fit. The QP series uses a plug-in design that snaps onto the bus. They are not interchangeable — your panel must specifically accept bolt-on BQ breakers. Check your panel's label or send us your panel model and we'll help you confirm.
The BQ1B015H is a 1-pole breaker rated at 120V, making it ideal for standard 120V branch circuits (lighting, receptacles, small appliances). It is not intended for 240V two-pole applications. For a 240V circuit, a 2-pole BQ breaker in the same series would be required.
