The Siemens BQ2B090 is a bolt-on 2-pole, 90A, 240V breaker from the Siemens BQ series, designed to mount in Siemens/ITE bolt-on style panelboards and loadcentres — including compatible EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept BQ/BL-type bolt-on breakers. It is not a plug-in (QP-style) breaker and should only be installed in panels rated for bolt-on devices with a matching 10kA interrupting rating or higher.

No. The BQ series uses a bolt-on mounting method, where the breaker is physically bolted to the bus bar, whereas QP-series breakers clip in as plug-ins. These two mounting styles are not interchangeable. Always verify your panelboard accepts bolt-on BQ/BL-type breakers before ordering.
Yes — the BQ2B090 is rated 2-pole, 240V, 90A with a 10kA short-circuit interrupting capacity (SCCR), making it appropriate for both residential and light commercial panelboards within those ratings. Confirm that your panel's available fault current does not exceed 10kA at the point of installation to ensure code compliance.
