The Siemens BQD315 is defined as a molded case circuit breaker in the BQD series, designed for reliable electrical circuit protection. It operates with a rated current of 15 A, while supporting a frame rating that can handle up to 100 A. This breaker is constructed with three poles, making it suitable for three-phase electrical systems.
The voltage rating for the BQD315 is set at 480 VAC, which allows it to serve applications in industrial settings efficiently. It operates effectively across common frequency ratings of both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. It includes an interrupting rating of 14 kAIC at the 480 VAC level, ensuring robust protection against overload and fault conditions.
This circuit breaker utilizes a thermal magnetic trip mechanism for reliable operation and safety. The toggle actuator allows for easy manual operation. In terms of wiring, the breaker provides flexibility with a wire size range of 14 to 6 AWG for copper conductors and 12 to 6 AWG for aluminum. The connection type is low tab, promoting a secure and accessible attachment to the breaker. Designed for panel mounting, the BQD315 can be integrated conveniently into electrical panels for efficient space management.
