The Siemens BQ2B015 is a bolt-on style breaker from the Siemens BQ/BL/BA series, designed to install in compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards and loadcentres, including the EQ, ES, PL, and PN series. The bolt-on connection type distinguishes it from plug-in QP/QT breakers — confirm your panel accepts bolt-on breakers before ordering.

The BQ series uses a bolt-on connection, meaning the breaker is mechanically fastened to the bus bar with a bolt for a more secure, vibration-resistant fit. The QP series uses a plug-in design that clips directly onto the bus bar. These two types are not interchangeable — your panelboard must specifically accept bolt-on breakers for the BQ2B015 to fit correctly.
Availability of specific Siemens BQ-series breakers can vary.

Yes. As a 2-pole, 15A, 240V breaker, the BQ2B015 is suitable for protecting 240V double-pole circuits — commonly used for electric baseboard heaters, small appliances, or dedicated outlets. Always ensure the connected load does not exceed 80% of the breaker's rated ampacity for continuous-duty circuits, in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
