The Siemens BQD6220 is a bolt-on, 2-pole 20A 347V breaker from the BQD series, designed for use in Siemens/ITE bolt-on style panelboards and loadcentres — including compatible EQ, ES, PL, and PN series enclosures that accept BL/BA bolt-on breakers. Its 347V rating makes it particularly suited to Canadian commercial and light industrial single-phase or multi-wire branch circuits operating at 347V (e.g., 347/600V systems).
Bolt-on breakers are not interchangeable with plug-in loadcentres. If you're unsure whether the BQD6220 fits your specific panelboard, send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
In Canada, 347V is a standard phase-to-neutral voltage derived from a 347/600V wye distribution system, common in commercial and industrial buildings. The BQD6220's 347V rating makes it suitable for branch circuits feeding lighting, HVAC equipment, and other loads on these higher-voltage Canadian systems — unlike standard 120/240V residential breakers.
The BQD6220 is a bolt-on breaker, meaning it physically bolts to the bus bar rather than snapping in like a plug-in. This distinction is critical — bolt-on breakers must only be installed in panelboards designed to accept bolt-on connections. Using a bolt-on breaker in a plug-in loadcentre (or vice versa) is unsafe and non-compliant. Always verify your panelboard type before ordering.
The BQD series can be difficult to source through standard distribution channels, particularly in specific voltage configurations like 347V.
