Description
Built to handle severe electrical faults, this 30-amp device integrates 30mA ground fault equipment protection with standard thermal-magnetic functions. It safeguards commercial machinery from destructive ground faults. This Type HBL component fastens securely into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards. The bolt-on terminal design prevents accidental disconnection. Boasting an extra-high 65kA interrupting rating, it safely clears massive short circuits and features a non-interchangeable trip.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B230EGHH?
The B230EGHH is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for installation in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards.
What is the ground fault trip threshold for the B230EGHH?
This breaker provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip threshold. This level is calibrated to protect equipment from damage rather than providing personnel protection.
What does the HH in the B230EGHH catalog number indicate?
The HH suffix designates a high interrupting rating. While standard versions offer lower ratings, the B230EGHH provides a 65kAIC interrupting capacity at 240V.
Are there lower interrupting rating versions of this 30A GFEP breaker?
Yes. If your system fault current calculations do not require a 65kAIC rating, you can use the B230EG for 10kAIC or the B230EGH for 22kAIC applications.
When should I use a 30mA GFEP breaker instead of a standard 5mA GFCI?
A 30mA GFEP breaker like the B230EGHH is required for equipment protection, commonly used for heat tracing, snow melting systems, or industrial machinery. A 5mA GFCI must be used when the primary goal is personnel protection.
How is the neutral connection handled on the B230EGHH?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral wire. The pigtail must be securely terminated to the neutral bus of the panelboard to ensure the ground fault detection circuitry operates correctly.
