The Siemens BQ3B080 is a bolt-on style breaker from the Siemens BQ frame series, designed to mount in compatible Siemens/ITE panelboards and loadcentres that accept bolt-on breakers — typically Siemens/ITE EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panelboards. As a 3-pole, 80A, 240V unit with a 10kA interrupting rating, it is suited to residential sub-panels and light commercial distribution boards where bolt-on connections are required.
Panel compatibility depends on your specific loadcentre model and busbar configuration. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
No, BQ (bolt-on) and QP (plug-in) breakers are not interchangeable. The BQ series uses a bolt-on mounting where the breaker is physically bolted to the bus bar, while QP breakers simply clip in. Each type requires a panelboard specifically designed for that mounting style. Check your panel's interior label or send us your panel model to confirm which type you need.
The BQ3B080 is primarily designed as a branch or feeder breaker within a distribution panel. Its 10kA interrupting capacity is appropriate for many residential and light commercial feeder applications, but suitability as a main breaker depends on your panel's design and your system's available fault current. Consult your panel documentation or contact us and we can help assess your application.
