The Siemens BQD6115 is a bolt-on breaker from the BQD series, rated 1-pole, 15A at 347V AC with a 14kA interrupting rating. Its 347V voltage rating makes it suited for Canadian commercial and light-industrial panelboards — including Siemens/ITE bolt-on compatible panelboards — rather than standard 120/240V residential loadcentres. It is not a plug-in/QP-style breaker and must be installed in a panel that accepts bolt-on breakers of the BQD frame.

The BQD6115 is rated at 347V AC, which is a Canadian commercial/light-industrial voltage (used in 347/600V distribution systems). Standard residential panels in Canada operate at 120/240V, so this breaker is not intended for typical home loadcentres. It is designed for commercial or industrial panelboards that accept bolt-on breakers and are fed from a 347/600V supply.
The Siemens BQD series can be difficult to source through general electrical distributors, particularly in lower amperage single-pole configurations. Northern Breaker Group specialises in exactly these hard-to-find and obsolete breakers. Contact us or visit one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters and we can advise on current availability or suitable alternatives.
A bolt-on breaker mechanically fastens to the panelboard bus bar with a screw or bolt, providing a more secure, vibration-resistant connection compared to a plug-in (clip-in) style. This makes bolt-on breakers the preferred choice in commercial and industrial environments. Ensure your panelboard is specifically designed to accept bolt-on BQD-frame breakers before installation, and always have a licensed electrician perform the work to meet Canadian Electrical Code requirements.
