Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards accept the Siemens BF220A GFCI breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is specifically designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards. It secures directly to the bus using a bolted connection rather than snapping in.
Is the BF220A compatible with residential load centers?
No, the BF220A is a bolt-on breaker intended strictly for commercial panelboards. It cannot be installed in plug-on style residential load centers.
What level of ground fault protection does the BF220A offer?
It provides Class A ground fault protection for personnel, tripping when leakage current to ground reaches 4 to 6 milliamperes. This satisfies NEC requirements for circuits needing personnel protection in damp or wet locations.
How is the neutral connection handled on the BF220A?
This breaker utilizes a standard pigtail neutral. The attached white wire must be routed and secured directly to the panelboard neutral bar for the internal ground fault circuitry to function properly.
Does the BF220A have a built-in test function?
Yes, this unit features self-testing capabilities to ensure continuous ground fault protection. It also includes a manual test button on the face of the breaker to safely simulate a fault and verify mechanical trip operation.
Does the Siemens BF220A replace older ITE breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE, and the Siemens BF220A is the exact replacement for the obsolete ITE BF220A circuit breakers used in identical bolt-on panelboards.
