Built for robust commercial and industrial use, this 40-amp BL series breaker delivers dependable power distribution. The bolt-on design mounts into Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It also acts as a substitute for BAB1040, QOB140, and THQB1140 models when cross-referencing compatible systems. Equipped with fixed thermal-magnetic trip units, it ensures precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. The unit is HACR rated and provides a 10kAIC interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC.
What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B140 circuit breaker?
The B140 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 commercial panelboards. It is not designed for standard plug-on load centers.
Can I install the B140 in a standard residential load center?
No. The B140 is a BL series bolt-on breaker intended for commercial panelboards. Residential load centers typically require plug-on breakers, such as the Siemens QP series.
Is the Siemens B140 breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the B140 is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific type of branch circuit protection.
Are there versions of the B140 with a higher interrupting rating?
Yes. The standard B140 has a 10kAIC rating at 120/240VAC. If your application requires a higher interrupting capacity, you can source the B140H for 22kAIC or the B140HH for 65kAIC.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit in the B140 operate?
The B140 features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) functions. The thermal component provides delayed tripping for sustained overloads, while the magnetic component trips instantaneously during short-circuit events.
