Description
Engineered for demanding commercial environments, the B215EGH is a 15A, two-pole molded case circuit breaker from Siemens. It delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection for industrial systems. The bolt-on configuration ensures a stable connection within Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards. It accepts 14-10 AWG copper or 12-10 AWG aluminum wiring. Distinguished by an elevated 22kAIC interrupt capacity, it handles higher fault currents while providing 30mA equipment protection.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat is the ground fault trip sensitivity for the Siemens B215EGH?
This breaker features a 30mA ground fault trip threshold. It provides Equipment Ground Fault Protection (GFEP) to protect machinery and heat trace cables, distinguishing it from Class A GFCI devices that trip at 5mA for personnel protection.
What does the H in the B215EGH catalog number indicate?
The H designates a high interrupting rating. While standard Siemens GFEP breakers offer a 10kAIC rating, this model provides an elevated 22kAIC capacity at 240V for systems with higher available fault currents.
How is the neutral connection made on this GFEP breaker?
The B215EGH includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panelboard. This connection is required to power the internal ground fault sensing circuitry.
Can I use the B215EGH to replace a standard Siemens B215 breaker?
Yes, it shares the same physical footprint and bolt-on mounting configuration as a standard B215. However, the B215EGH adds 30mA equipment ground fault protection and a higher 22kAIC interrupting rating.
Is this breaker suitable for protecting bathroom or kitchen receptacles?
No. The B215EGH is a GFEP device with a 30mA trip level intended strictly for equipment protection. Receptacles in wet locations require Class A GFCI breakers with a 5mA trip threshold for personnel safety.
