Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the Siemens BF230 circuit breaker?
The Siemens BF230 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential plug-on load centers.
Can I install the BF230 in an older ITE panelboard?
Yes, Siemens acquired ITE, and many Siemens B-frame bolt-on breakers, including the BF230, are backwards compatible with legacy ITE panelboards that accept bolt-on breakers.
Is there a newer replacement model for the Siemens BF230?
Yes, the Siemens BF230 is a legacy model that has been succeeded by the B230GF. Both models provide 30A, 2-pole bolt-on GFCI protection for compatible Siemens panelboards.
How is the neutral connection established on the BF230?
The BF230 utilizes a pigtail neutral connection. The attached white wire must be routed and terminated directly at the panelboard neutral bus to ensure the ground fault circuitry functions correctly.
What level of ground fault sensitivity does the BF230 offer?
This breaker provides Class A ground fault protection with a 5mA trip threshold. It is designed for personnel protection to mitigate shock hazards in wet or sensitive environments.
Can the Siemens BF230 be used for HVAC equipment?
Yes, the BF230 is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30A, 120/240V circuit with ground fault protection.
