Description
Delivering elevated fault current handling, this 22kAIC molded case circuit breaker integrates 30mA equipment-level ground fault protection. The bolt-on unit fits seamlessly into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, offering robust defense for commercial and industrial loads. While this specific model has been superseded by the B220EGH, it remains a critical component for maintaining existing infrastructure that requires high-interrupting capacity and HACR-rated thermal-magnetic performance.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the Siemens BE220H?
The BE220H is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the BE220H?
This breaker provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to protect machinery and equipment from damaging line-to-ground faults without nuisance tripping.
Can the BE220H be used for personnel ground fault protection?
No. The BE220H is a GFEP breaker with a 30mA trip threshold intended for equipment protection, such as heat trace cables or snow melt systems. It does not provide the 5mA trip sensitivity required for Class A personnel GFCI protection.
What is the difference between the Siemens BE220 and the BE220H?
The H in the catalog number indicates a higher interrupting capacity. The BE220H is rated for 22kAIC at 120/240VAC, while the standard BE220 is rated for 10kAIC.
Has the Siemens BE220H been replaced by a newer model?
Yes, the BE220H has been superseded by the newer B220EGH model. However, the BE220H remains widely used for maintaining existing infrastructure.
How is the neutral connection wired on the BE220H?
This breaker is equipped with a pigtail neutral wire. The pigtail must be connected directly to the neutral bar in the panelboard to ensure the ground fault sensing circuitry operates correctly.
