The Siemens BQD330 is a bolt-on, 3-pole 30A 480V breaker from the BQD frame series, designed for use in Siemens/ITE commercial and industrial panelboards that accept bolt-on BQD-series breakers. With a 14kA interrupting rating at 480V, it is suited for industrial distribution and branch-circuit protection — not residential loadcentres. It is not interchangeable with plug-in QP/QT residential breakers.
Panel fit depends on your specific panelboard model and buswork configuration. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
The BQD330 is a bolt-on breaker from Siemens' BQD frame series, intended for Siemens/ITE commercial and industrial panelboards designed to accept BQD-series bolt-on breakers. It is not designed for residential loadcentres or plug-in panel applications. Because compatibility depends on your specific panelboard model and bus configuration, we recommend sending us your panel details so we can confirm a proper fit before ordering.
The Siemens BQD series is considered a hard-to-find product line. Northern Breaker Group specializes in sourcing obsolete and discontinued breakers, including BQD-frame units. Whether new old-stock or thoroughly tested surplus, we can often source the BQD330 when standard supply channels cannot.

Yes — a breaker rated for 480V is generally suitable for use at lower voltages such as 208V or 240V, provided all other specifications (pole count, amperage, bolt-on mounting, and panel compatibility) are met. However, always verify with your panel documentation and a qualified electrician to ensure the installation meets Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requirements for your specific application.
