BQ2B060H– SIEMENS 2P60A 240V BOLT ON 22kA BREAKER

The BQ series breakers, like the BQ2B060H, use a bolt-on connection that physically bolts the breaker to the bus bar — providing a more secure, vibration-resistant connection often preferred in commercial applications. The QP series uses a plug-in design that snaps onto the bus. The two series are not interchangeable, so it's important to verify which style your panelboard requires before ordering.

Yes — the BQ2B060H carries a 22kA interrupting capacity at 240V, meaning it can safely clear fault currents up to 22,000 amperes. You should verify the available short-circuit current (ASCC) at your panel's location with a qualified electrician. If the available fault current exceeds 22kA, a higher-rated breaker will be required to meet CSA/NEC code requirements.

Availability can vary depending on production cycles. Northern Breaker Group specializes in both current-production and hard-to-find or obsolete Siemens breakers. If the BQ2B060H is no longer in regular distribution, we can often source new-old-stock (NOS) or factory-reconditioned units.
