Product FAQs
7 answersWhich panelboards accept the Siemens B240H00S01 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is specifically designed for installation in Siemens P1 commercial panelboards.
What does the 00S01 suffix mean on this Siemens B-series breaker?
The 00S01 suffix indicates the inclusion of a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip mechanism. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by an external voltage signal.
How does the B240H differ from a standard Siemens B240 breaker?
The H designation indicates a BLH frame with a higher interrupting capacity. While the standard B240 is rated for 10kAIC, the B240H provides a 22kAIC rating at 120/240VAC.
What applications typically require the 120V shunt trip found on the B240H00S01?
Shunt trips are commonly used to tie the circuit breaker into emergency stop systems, fire alarms, or equipment safety interlocks, allowing the circuit to be disconnected automatically during a fault or emergency event.
Is the B240H00S01 interchangeable with plug-on Q-series breakers?
No. The B240H00S01 is a BLH frame breaker with a bolt-on connection for commercial P1 panelboards. It cannot be used in residential load centers that require plug-on Q-series or QP breakers.
What is the base catalog number for this breaker without the shunt trip?
If you do not require the 120VAC shunt trip mechanism, the standard 40A, 2-pole, 22kAIC bolt-on breaker is catalog number B240H.
Is the B240H00S01 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
