The Siemens BQ2B080 is a bolt-on style breaker from the Siemens BQ series, designed to mount securely in compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards and loadcentres — including select Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept bolt-on breakers. As a 2-pole, 80A, 240V unit with a 10kA interrupting rating, it is suited for both residential sub-panel and light commercial applications.
Bolt-on breakers are not interchangeable with plug-on/clip-in loadcentres — please verify your panel accepts the BQ bolt-on frame before ordering. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
The BQ series uses a bolt-on mounting method, meaning the breaker is physically bolted to the bus bar rather than clipped on. This provides a more secure, vibration-resistant connection and is required by certain Siemens/ITE panelboards specifically designed for bolt-on breakers. The two styles are not interchangeable, so it's important to confirm your panel accepts bolt-on breakers before purchasing.
The BQ2B080 is typically used as a branch or feeder breaker within a panel, rather than as a main breaker. At 80A/2-pole, it's well suited for protecting large appliance circuits, sub-panels, or substantial feeder runs in both residential and light commercial settings. If you require a main breaker application, contact our team — we can help identify the correct product for your specific installation.
The Siemens BQ series has seen limited availability through standard distribution channels, making it a harder-to-find breaker in Canada.
