Description
Built for high-fault environments, the Siemens BE120H is a 20-amp equipment protection breaker with a 30mA trip threshold. It de-energizes circuits when line-to-ground faults threaten commercial machinery, offering robust defense without nuisance tripping. The bolt-on configuration is engineered for Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It replaces the older B120EGH model while maintaining identical form. This Type BLEH breaker delivers an upgraded 22 kAIC interrupting rating at 120VAC.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the BE120H?
The BE120H is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential load centers that require plug-on connections.
What is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
The BE120H is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip threshold, designed to protect machinery and equipment such as heat tracing or snow melting systems. Standard GFCI breakers have a 5mA threshold intended for personnel protection.
How is the neutral connection made on the BE120H?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral wire. During installation, this pigtail must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panelboard to ensure proper ground fault sensing.
What does the H in the BE120H catalog number indicate?
The H indicates a high interrupting rating. This model provides a 22kAIC rating at 120VAC, which is higher than the standard 10kAIC rating found on standard BE120 models.
Can the BE120H replace an older B120EGH breaker?
Yes, the BE120H is the direct replacement for the older B120EGH model. It maintains the same physical footprint and bolt-on configuration while offering an upgraded 22kAIC interrupting rating.
