BQD6215 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

BQD6215 - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens BQD6215 is a 15 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for use in 600/347VAC panelboards. It is commonly installed in commercial, institutional, and industrial electrical systems where branch circuits and lighting circuits require overcurrent protection.

The breaker features a thermal magnetic trip unit, providing protection against overloads and short circuits. Thermal magnetic breakers remain a common choice in power distribution equipment because they offer both long-time overload protection and fast response to fault conditions.

Designed for panelboard mounting, the BQD6215 uses low-tab connections and carries a 10 kAIC interrupting rating.

Whether you're replacing an existing breaker or completing a panel upgrade, the Siemens BQD6215 is a familiar part number for electricians, contractors, and maintenance personnel working with Siemens 600/347V electrical distribution equipment.
