Engineered for commercial power distribution, the Siemens B212500S01 is a 2-pole, 125A BL series molded case circuit breaker. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection for demanding branch circuits. This bolt-on MCCB installs into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards. The bolted connection ensures stable performance in continuous-duty applications. Rated at 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, this breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip for remote tripping capabilities.
What does the 00S01 suffix indicate on the B212500S01 catalog number?
The 00S01 suffix designates a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be opened remotely via a 120V control signal, which is commonly used for emergency stops or automated shutdown systems.
Is the B212500S01 interchangeable with a standard B2125 breaker?
Both share the same 125A, 2-pole BL series bolt-on frame, but the B212500S01 includes a factory-installed 120V shunt trip. If your application does not require remote tripping, a standard B2125 can be used.
Which Siemens panelboards accept the B212500S01 circuit breaker?
This BL-frame bolt-on breaker is compatible with Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 commercial panelboards.
Can I install the B212500S01 in a residential load center?
No. This is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for commercial panelboards. It will not fit in load centers that require plug-on connections.
How is the shunt trip wired on this breaker?
The factory-installed shunt trip features pigtail leads that exit the breaker housing. These leads must be spliced into a separate 120VAC control circuit to enable the remote tripping functionality.
What safety procedures apply when installing a breaker with a shunt trip?
Both the primary panelboard bus and the separate 120VAC control circuit powering the shunt trip must be fully de-energized before installation or maintenance. Lockout-tagout procedures should be followed for all power sources.
