The Siemens B315 is a miniature circuit breaker designed for commercial distribution. As part of the BL series, it provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection for 240V three-phase applications. This unit installs into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards using a standard bolt-on connection. It serves as a functional equivalent to BAB3015 and QOB315 breakers when matching specifications. Rated at 10 kAIC, it features long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions and is HACR rated.
What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B315 breaker?
The B315 is designed to bolt directly into Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 series commercial panelboards.
Is the Siemens B315 a direct replacement for the ITE B315?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE, and the modern Siemens B315 is the exact, manufacturer-approved equivalent for the legacy ITE B315 and ITE Siemens B315 catalog numbers.
Can the B315 breaker be used with HVAC equipment?
Yes. This Type BL circuit breaker is HACR rated, ensuring it is tested and approved to handle the unique inrush currents of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the Siemens B315?
No. This unit utilizes a fixed thermal magnetic trip mechanism, meaning the long-time and instantaneous overcurrent thresholds cannot be modified in the field.
Does the B315 clip onto a DIN rail?
No, this unit features a standard bolt-on connection style. It secures directly to the panel bus using threaded hardware for a permanent connection, rather than snapping into place.
What does the LI trip function code mean on the B315?
The LI designation indicates the breaker provides both Long-Time and Instantaneous protection. The thermal mechanism protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic mechanism trips immediately during a short circuit.
