The Siemens BQD220 is a bolt-on breaker from the BQD series, designed for use in Siemens/ITE commercial and industrial panelboards that accept bolt-on style breakers — including applicable Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and PN panelboards. Its 277V AC rating makes it suited for single-phase loads on 480Y/277V commercial distribution systems (e.g., lighting circuits), rather than residential loadcentres. As a bolt-on frame breaker with a 14kA interrupting rating, it is not interchangeable with plug-in (QP/QT) style breakers.
Panel compatibility depends on your specific bus configuration and enclosure series — send us your panel model and we'll confirm the fit.
The BQD220 is rated 2-pole, 20A, 277V AC with a 14kA interrupting capacity. The 277V rating is specifically designed for single-phase branch circuits on 480Y/277V wye distribution systems — commonly used for commercial fluorescent or LED lighting loads in Canada.
The BQD series has become increasingly difficult to find through standard supply channels. Northern Breaker Group specialises in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, so we can often source the BQD220 from verified surplus and refurbished stock. Contact any of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for availability and a quote.
No — the BQD220 is a bolt-on breaker and is not mechanically or electrically interchangeable with Siemens plug-in (QP/QT) breakers. Additionally, its 277V rating differs from the 120/240V rating of typical residential plug-in units. A direct BQD-series replacement is required to maintain proper fit, rating, and code compliance.
