The Siemens BQD390 is a bolt-on, 3-pole, 90A, 480V, 14kA molded-case breaker from the BQD frame series. As an industrial-grade MCCB, it is designed to mount in compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards and switchboards rated for 480V applications — not residential loadcentres. It is commonly used in commercial and light-industrial distribution panels that accept BQD-frame bolt-on breakers.

The BQD is an industrial molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) frame rated for 480V AC and higher short-circuit duties. Unlike the QP or QT plug-in residential breakers designed for home loadcentres, the BQD series uses a bolt-on connection and is intended for commercial or industrial panelboards and switchboards — not residential panels.
The BQD series has become increasingly difficult to source through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, and we maintain inventory of legacy Siemens industrial frames. Contact us or visit one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for availability and a quote.
A direct replacement must match the original breaker's frame, voltage rating (480V), amperage (90A), interrupt rating (14kA minimum), pole count (3P), and bolt-on mounting style. The BQD390 can serve as a replacement where these parameters align, but compatibility with the specific panelboard bus should always be verified. Send us your panel model number and we'll help confirm the correct fit.
