Designed for specialized control requirements, this 60-amp single-pole breaker integrates a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip mechanism for remote power disconnection. The device mounts into Siemens P1 through P5 commercial panelboards using a standard bolt-on configuration. Delivering a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, it provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection while supporting switching duty (SWD) and HACR applications.
What does the 00S01 suffix indicate on the B16000S01 catalog number?
The 00S01 suffix designates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be opened remotely by applying a 120V control signal, which is commonly used for emergency stop circuits or fire alarm integration.
Can the B16000S01 be installed in a standard residential load center?
No. This is a BL series bolt-on breaker designed specifically for commercial panelboards, such as the Siemens P1 through P5 series. Standard residential load centers typically require plug-on breakers like the Siemens QP series.
How is the factory-installed shunt trip wired on this breaker?
The shunt trip features pigtail leads that exit the breaker housing. These leads must be wired to a 120VAC control circuit, such as a remote push-button station or relay, to enable the remote tripping function.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The B16000S01 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) capabilities.
Is this breaker compatible with older ITE or Gould commercial panels?
Yes. Siemens acquired the ITE and Gould electrical lines. A modern Siemens BL series bolt-on breaker will physically fit and replace older ITE or Gould BL breakers of the same frame size and pole configuration.
