The BQ2B050H is a Siemens BQ-frame bolt-on breaker, designed to install in compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on style panelboards and loadcentres — including select EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept the BQ/BA bolt-on breaker format. Its 2-pole, 50A, 240V rating with a 22kA interrupting capacity suits both residential and light commercial distribution panels.
Bolt-on breakers are not interchangeable with plug-in breaker spaces — confirm your panel's busbar type before ordering. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm fitment.
The BQ series uses a bolt-on bus connection, where the breaker is physically bolted to the panel busbar rather than snapping onto it. This provides a more secure, vibration-resistant connection often required in commercial or industrial panelboards. A QP plug-in breaker cannot be substituted in a bolt-on panel space, and vice versa — always match the breaker type to your panel's bus design.
Yes. The BQ2B050H is a 2-pole breaker rated at 240V and 50A, making it well-suited for double-pole applications like electric ranges, dryers, EV chargers, hot tubs, or feeding a sub-panel — provided the wiring gauge and panel rating support the load. Always consult a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
