Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Siemens B330 provides robust thermal-magnetic protection for 240V systems. This 3-pole, 30A breaker features a standard 10kA interrupting capacity and is HACR rated for HVAC equipment. It installs into Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards using a secure bolt-on connection. While it serves as a functional equivalent to BAB3030, QOB330, and THQB32030 models, it is designed exclusively for Siemens enclosures.

Product FAQs
9 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B330 circuit breaker?
This breaker is engineered specifically for Siemens Type BL panelboard applications, including the P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 series enclosures. It features a bolt-on design and will not fit in standard plug-on load centers.
Can I use the Siemens B330 to replace older ITE circuit breakers?
Yes, Siemens continues to manufacture these breakers to the same physical dimensions as the legacy hardware. The B330 serves as a direct, UL listed replacement for legacy ITE B330 breakers. It is also commonly cross-referenced as catalog number BL330.
Is the Siemens B330 approved for use with HVAC equipment?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified to handle the specific inrush currents associated with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
What is the standard operating temperature rating for this breaker?
The B330 is calibrated for continuous operation in a standard ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Can I use aluminum wire with the Siemens B330?
Yes, the integrated terminal lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. The acceptable wire size range is 10 to 8 AWG for copper and 10 to 6 AWG for aluminum.
Does this circuit breaker require an external mounting bracket?
No, the B330 mounts directly to the bus structure of compatible Siemens panelboards using its integrated bolt-on connectors. No additional mounting kits or hardware are required.
Are the trip settings on the B330 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. It provides preset long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection that cannot be field adjusted.
Does the 3-pole B330 offer common-trip protection?
Yes, the three poles are internally and mechanically linked. An overload or fault condition on any single phase will automatically trip all three poles simultaneously to protect three-phase motors and equipment from single-phasing.
Is the Siemens B330 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, this circuit breaker is suitable for reverse feed applications. It can be back-fed for use as a main breaker, provided the installation complies with your local electrical codes and panelboard guidelines.
