Description
Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, this 20-amp Siemens GFEP device provides 30mA ground fault equipment protection. It installs into P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards via a secure bolt-on connection, serving as a modern replacement for the legacy BE220. Featuring a 10kAIC rating and thermal-magnetic trip technology, it safeguards machinery from damaging low-level faults while avoiding the nuisance tripping associated with 5mA personnel-rated GFCIs.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat is the ground fault trip threshold for the Siemens B220EG?
The B220EG is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to protect equipment from damaging low-level faults, unlike Class A GFCI breakers which trip at 5mA for personnel protection.
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the B220EG circuit breaker?
This bolt-on BL-frame breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 commercial panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential plug-on load centers.
How does the B220EG connect to the panel neutral?
The B220EG features a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected to the panel neutral bus bar to ensure proper operation of the ground fault sensing circuitry.
Can I use the B220EG in place of a B220GF?
No. While both are 20A, 2-pole bolt-on breakers, the B220GF is a Class A GFCI with a 5mA trip threshold for personnel protection. The B220EG is a GFEP breaker with a 30mA trip threshold for equipment protection. They are not interchangeable if personnel protection is required by code.
What does the LIG trip function code mean on this breaker?
LIG indicates the breaker provides Long-Time (thermal overload), Instantaneous (short-circuit), and Ground-Fault (30mA equipment protection) trip functions.
