The Siemens BQ2B030 is a bolt-on style breaker from the Siemens BQ series, designed to mount in compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards and loadcentres — including select EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept bolt-on breakers. As a 2-pole, 30A, 240V unit with a 10kA interrupt rating, it is suited for both residential and light commercial panel applications.
Bolt-on breakers are not interchangeable with plug-in (QP/QT) style breakers — always verify your panel accepts the BQ bolt-on format before ordering. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
The BQ series uses a bolt-on mounting method, where the breaker is physically bolted to the bus bar, providing a more secure connection — common in commercial panelboards. The QP series uses a plug-in design that clips onto the bus, typical in residential loadcentres. They are not interchangeable, so it's important to match the breaker style to your specific panel's bus design.

The 10kA AIC (Ampere Interrupting Capacity) rating is sufficient for many residential and light commercial installations in Canada. However, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires that the breaker's interrupting rating meet or exceed the available fault current at the point of installation. We recommend confirming the available fault current at your panel with a qualified electrician before selecting this breaker.
