Product FAQs
5 answersWhat is the ground fault trip threshold for the Siemens B230EGH?
The B230EGH features a 30mA ground fault trip threshold. This classifies it as Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP), which is designed to protect equipment like heat tracing or snow melting systems from damaging arcing faults.
Can the B230EGH be used for personnel protection in wet locations?
No. Because the B230EGH has a 30mA trip threshold for equipment protection, it does not meet the requirements for Class A personnel protection. Applications requiring personnel protection, such as bathrooms or outdoor receptacles, require a breaker with a 5mA trip threshold.
What type of panels accept the B230EGH breaker?
This breaker utilizes the BLEH frame with a bolt-on connection. It is designed for installation in Siemens and ITE commercial panelboards that accept bolt-on B-frame breakers. It will not fit in standard residential load centers that require plug-on breakers.
Does the B230EGH require a neutral connection to function properly?
Yes. As a ground fault sensing breaker, it requires a connection to the panel neutral bus via the attached pigtail wire. This allows the breaker to properly monitor the current balance and detect ground faults.
How do I verify the ground fault protection is working after installation?
Once installed and energized, press the TEST button located on the front of the breaker. The breaker should trip immediately, verifying that the 30mA ground fault sensing electronics and mechanical trip linkage are functioning correctly.
