The Siemens BQD230 is a bolt-on breaker from the Siemens BQD series, designed for commercial and industrial panelboards that accept bolt-on style breakers. Its 277V rating makes it particularly suited for 480Y/277V three-phase commercial distribution systems — common in Canadian commercial and light-industrial builds. It is not intended for residential loadcentres (EQ/ES/PL/PN series use plug-in QP/QT/BL/BA style breakers).

The BQD230 is a bolt-on style breaker designed for Siemens commercial and industrial panelboards that accept BQD-series bolt-on breakers in a 277V/480V distribution system. It is not compatible with residential plug-in loadcentres. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
The 277V rating is specifically designed for 480Y/277V wye-configured three-phase systems, which are standard in Canadian commercial buildings for lighting circuits and HVAC loads. This is not a typo — it cannot be substituted for a 120/240V-rated breaker in a residential system.
