BQD6240 – SIEMENS 2P40A 347V BOLT ON 14kA BREAKER
The BQD6240 is a high-quality Siemens 2-pole 40 Amp circuit breaker designed for 347V applications. With a robust interrupting capacity of 14kA, it ensures reliable protection and performance for your electrical systems. This bolt-on breaker is ideal for commercial uses, providing peace of mind and safety you can trust.
The BQD6240 is rated for 347V — a voltage common in Canadian commercial three-phase wye systems — whereas standard residential Siemens breakers (such as the QP series) are rated for 120/240V. The BQD series also features a bolt-on mounting style for added stability in commercial panelboards, rather than the plug-in connection used in residential loadcentres.
Yes. The 347V rating aligns directly with the phase-to-neutral voltage of a 600V three-phase wye system, which is the standard distribution voltage in Canadian commercial buildings. The 14kA interrupting rating makes it appropriate for many commercial branch-circuit applications — though you should always verify the available fault current at the panel does not exceed 14kA.
