Handling the high inrush currents of commercial lighting systems, the Siemens B130HID is specifically engineered for High Intensity Discharge (HID) applications. This 30A, single-pole breaker provides robust thermal-magnetic protection while preventing nuisance tripping during lamp startup. The device features a secure bolt-on mounting style, making it fully compatible with Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, this HACR-rated breaker ensures reliable performance.
What does the HID designation mean on the Siemens B130HID?
The HID suffix indicates the breaker is rated for High Intensity Discharge lighting applications. It is calibrated to handle the high inrush currents that occur during lamp startup, preventing nuisance tripping.
Which Siemens panelboards accept the B130HID breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is compatible with Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards.
Is the B130HID suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30-amp, 120-volt circuit.
What wire gauges are compatible with the B130HID terminals?
The lugs accept 14 to 6 AWG copper wire or 12 to 6 AWG aluminum wire.
How does the B130HID connect to the panelboard bus?
It uses a bolt-on connection, which secures the breaker directly to the busbar with a screw. This provides a highly reliable, vibration-resistant contact compared to plug-in designs.
How does the B130HID differ from a standard B130 breaker?
Both are 30-amp, single-pole bolt-on breakers, but the B130HID is specifically engineered and rated for High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting loads. The standard B130 lacks the HID rating for high inrush currents.
Can the B130HID be used to supply a 240V load?
No. As a single-pole breaker, it provides 120VAC. While it can be installed in a 120/240VAC panelboard, it is designed strictly to protect 120V branch circuits.
What type of trip unit does the B130HID utilize?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal component provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component offers instantaneous protection against short circuits.
