BQ2B080– SIEMENS 2P80A 240V BOLT ON 10kA BREAKER

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. Northern Breaker Group specializes in exactly this type of product — sourcing both current and obsolete Siemens breakers for customers across Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
