BQD6230 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

BQD6230 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens BQD6230 is a 30 Amp, 2-pole circuit breaker designed for use in 600/347VAC panelboard systems. You'll often find this type of breaker installed in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and industrial properties where dependable branch-circuit protection is required.

Built with a thermal magnetic trip unit, the BQD6230 helps protect electrical circuits from both overloads and short circuits.

The breaker features a panelboard-mount configuration with low-tab connections, making it a practical option for panel upgrades, maintenance projects, and replacement applications. With a 30 Amp rating, 2-pole design, and 10 kAIC interrupting capacity, it's commonly used for lighting systems, control equipment, and general power distribution circuits operating on 600/347V electrical systems.

Whether you're replacing an existing breaker or working on a new installation, the Siemens BQD6230 is a familiar part number for electricians, contractors, and maintenance teams who work with Siemens panelboards and commercial electrical distribution equipment.
