Designed for commercial and industrial applications, the Siemens B160H provides robust thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection. This 60-amp, single-pole unit installs into Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards, ensuring a secure bolt-on connection for demanding electrical systems. Featuring a 22kA interrupting capacity at 120/240V, it serves as an excellent upgrade or replacement component. It also crosses over with BAB1060H and THQB1160 models for versatile facility maintenance.
What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B160H?
The B160H is a bolt-on breaker designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 commercial panelboards.
Can I install the B160H in a standard residential load center?
No. The B160H features a bolt-on connection designed for commercial panelboards. It is not compatible with standard plug-on residential load centers.
What is the difference between the Siemens B160 and B160H?
The primary difference is the interrupting rating. The standard B160 has a 10kAIC rating, while the B160H is a high-interrupting breaker rated for 22kAIC at 120/240VAC.
How does the B160H differ from the B160HH?
While both are 60A, 1-pole bolt-on breakers, the B160H has an interrupting rating of 22kAIC, whereas the B160HH is rated for 65kAIC.
Is the Siemens B160H HACR rated?
Yes, the B160H is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can the B160H be used in a 277V or 480V system?
No. The B160H is strictly rated for a maximum of 120/240VAC. It cannot be used in 277V or 480V applications.
What type of wire can be used with the B160H lugs?
The breaker terminals accept both Copper (Cu) and Aluminum (Al) wire, accommodating gauges from 6 AWG to 3 AWG.
Does the B160H provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The B160H is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker that provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include GFCI or AFCI capabilities.
