Product FAQs
7 answers
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the B220HH circuit breaker?
The B220HH is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It features a bolt-on connection to ensure a secure fit in these commercial and industrial panels.
What does the 65kAIC rating on the Siemens B220HH indicate?
The 65kAIC rating means this breaker can safely interrupt up to 65,000 amps of fault current at 120/240VAC without sustaining internal damage. This extra-high interrupting rating makes it suitable for systems with significant available fault current.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the B220HH breaker?
The load-side lugs on the B220HH accept 14 to 10 AWG copper (Cu) wire or 12 to 10 AWG aluminum (Al) wire. Always torque the terminals to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker label.
What breaker family does the B220HH belong to?
The B220HH is part of the Siemens HBL family of molded case circuit breakers. It shares the same physical dimensions as standard BL breakers but offers a higher 65kAIC interrupting capacity.
Is the Siemens B220HH HACR rated?
Yes, the B220HH is fully HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific type of branch circuit protection.
How does the B220HH mount into the panelboard?
This breaker utilizes a bolt-on mounting connection. Bolt-on breakers fasten directly to the panel busbars with screws, providing a secure, vibration-proof connection commonly required in commercial and industrial applications.
What type of trip mechanism does the B220HH use for circuit protection?
It uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions. The thermal component responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic component trips instantly during severe short circuits to protect the wiring.
