The Siemens BQ3B060 is a bolt-on style breaker from the BQ3B series, designed to mount in compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards and loadcentres — including select EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept bolt-on breakers. As a 3-pole, 60A, 240V unit with a 10kA interrupting rating, it is suited for both residential and light commercial distribution panels.
Bolt-on breakers are not interchangeable with plug-in style loadcentres — confirm your panel accepts the BQ3B bolt-on frame before ordering. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm fitment.
The BQ3B series uses a bolt-on mounting design, meaning the breaker is mechanically fastened to the bus bar with a bolt rather than clipping in. This provides a more secure connection and is required by certain Siemens/ITE panelboards — particularly in commercial or higher-vibration applications. It is not a drop-in replacement for plug-in style breakers even if the amperage and poles match.
The BQ3B frame has been discontinued by Siemens, making the BQ3B060 a hard-to-find breaker. Northern Breaker Group specializes in sourcing obsolete and legacy Siemens breakers — contact us for current stock availability and lead time.
Yes — the BQ3B060's 3-pole, 60A, 240V rating makes it suitable for feeding a sub-panel or protecting large three-phase-wired loads in compatible installations. Always verify the 10kA interrupting capacity meets the available fault current at the point of installation, and consult a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
