The Siemens BQ2B030HH is a bolt-on style breaker from the Siemens BQ series, designed to mount securely in compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards and loadcentres — typically the EQ, ES, PL, and PN series. Its elevated 65kA interrupting rating makes it well suited for commercial and industrial panelboard applications where higher fault-current ratings are required, in addition to residential use.
Not all Siemens loadcentres accept bolt-on (BQ/BA) breakers — some accept plug-in types only. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm fitment.
The 'HH' suffix on the BQ2B030HH denotes a higher interrupting (fault current) rating of 65kA, compared to the lower kA rating of a standard BQ2B030. This makes the BQ2B030HH the preferred choice for installations where the available fault current at the panel exceeds standard breaker ratings — common in commercial settings or panels fed by larger transformers.
The BQ2B030HH is a bolt-on breaker, meaning it fastens mechanically to the bus bar with a screw rather than clipping on. This distinction is critical — bolt-on breakers must be installed in panels designed for bolt-on mounting. Installing a bolt-on breaker in a plug-in-only panel (or vice versa) is not permitted. Always verify your loadcentre or panelboard accepts bolt-on BQ-series breakers before ordering.
Availability of specific high-interrupting-rated breakers like the BQ2B030HH can vary. Northern Breaker Group specializes in both current-production and hard-to-find or obsolete Siemens breakers.
