Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Siemens B145 provides reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection. This 45-amp, single-pole molded case circuit breaker delivers a standard 10kAIC interrupting rating at 120/240VAC. Designed for seamless integration, it installs into Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards via a sturdy bolt-on connection. The HACR-rated unit features a trip-free mechanism, non-interchangeable trip unit, and supports reverse feed configurations.
Which Siemens panelboards accept the B145 circuit breaker?
The B145 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 commercial panelboards. It is not compatible with standard plug-on load centers.
What are the acceptable wire gauges for the B145 terminal lugs?
The integrated lugs accept 8 to 6 AWG copper conductors or 8 to 4 AWG aluminum conductors. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Is the Siemens B145 suitable for 277V lighting circuits?
No, this breaker is rated for a maximum of 120/240VAC. For 277VAC applications, a different breaker series such as the Siemens BQD is required.
What frame family does the B145 belong to?
The B145 is part of the Siemens B frame family, which is widely known in the industry as the BL series of miniature bolt-on circuit breakers.
What type of protection does the thermal-magnetic trip unit provide?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers long-time (L) protection against sustained overloads and instantaneous (I) protection against short circuits.
How is the B145 secured to the panelboard bus?
It features a bolt-on connection that fastens directly to the busbars of compatible Siemens P-series panelboards, providing a secure and vibration-resistant mechanical connection.
Is the Siemens B145 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
