Product FAQs
8 answersHow should I use the 30A rating when selecting the Siemens B230EGH?
The 30A rating is the breaker’s rated current. Use it when coordinating the circuit load and conductor ampacity with applicable installation requirements.
What circuit configuration is the B230EGH rated for?
The B230EGH is a 2-pole, single-phase breaker rated 120/240VAC. Select it for a circuit whose voltage and pole requirements match those ratings.
How do I check whether its interrupting rating is adequate?
The interrupting rating is 22kAIC at 120/240VAC. Compare that rating with the available fault current at the installation point, which must not exceed the breaker’s interrupting rating.
What does GFEP protection do?
GFEP means ground-fault equipment protection. It trips in response to ground-fault current to help protect equipment, making this feature relevant when selecting protection for equipment ground faults.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip respond to overcurrent?
The thermal-magnetic trip combines long-time and instantaneous functions. The thermal function responds to sustained overcurrent with a time delay, while the magnetic function responds rapidly to high fault current.
Can I adjust the thermal or magnetic trip settings?
Both the thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed. Select the breaker based on the circuit’s protection requirements rather than planning to tune those settings during installation.
How is the B230EGH mounted?
The B230EGH uses bolt-on mounting. Installation requires securing the breaker with bolted connections, so plan for that fastening method during assembly.
How are conductors connected to the breaker?
The terminal connections use lugs. Terminate conductors in the lugs and use the applicable conductor preparation and tightening requirements to make secure electrical connections.
