Panel Compatibility

The Siemens BQD340 is a bolt-on, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker from the BQD frame series, rated 40A / 480V / 14kA. As a commercial/industrial MCCB, it is designed to mount in Siemens BQD-compatible panelboards and switchboards — not residential loadcentres. It is commonly used in industrial distribution panels where a bolt-on 3-pole 480V branch circuit breaker is required.

Panel compatibility depends on your specific panelboard's bus configuration and available space. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm the fit.

The BQD340 is a bolt-on MCCB intended for commercial and industrial Siemens BQD-series compatible panelboards and switchboards rated for 480V systems. It is not designed for residential loadcentres. Contact us with your panelboard model to confirm compatibility.

Availability can vary as the BQD frame is an older Siemens series. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, so even if the BQD340 is no longer in active production, we can often source new, reconditioned, or equivalent units. Reach out to one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for current stock.

A direct replacement requires matching the frame series, bolt-on style, pole count (3P), amperage (40A), voltage rating (480V), and interrupting rating (14kA minimum). The BQD340 is the correct like-for-like replacement for an existing BQD340. If you're cross-referencing from a different brand or frame, send us the original breaker details and we'll help identify a suitable replacement.
