Product FAQs
7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B215HH circuit breaker?
The B215HH is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
What is the difference between the Siemens B215, B215H, and B215HH breakers?
All three are 15A, 2-pole bolt-on breakers in the Siemens BL family, but they feature different interrupting ratings. The standard B215 (BL series) is rated at 10kAIC, the B215H (BLH series) is rated at 22kAIC, and the B215HH (HBL series) provides the highest rating at 65kAIC.
What wire gauges are compatible with the B215HH load lugs?
The terminal lugs on the B215HH accept 14 to 10 AWG copper (Cu) wire or 12 to 10 AWG aluminum (Al) wire.
Can the Siemens B215HH replace older ITE circuit breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE, and the Siemens B215HH is the direct, UL-listed replacement for the legacy ITE B215HH bolt-on circuit breaker.
Is it safe to install the B215HH in a non-Siemens panelboard?
No. The B215HH is UL-listed exclusively for compatible Siemens enclosures. Installing it in panels from other manufacturers, such as GE or Eaton, voids the UL listing and creates a serious fire hazard due to improper bus bar connections.
How does the B215HH connect to the panelboard bus?
The B215HH utilizes a bolt-on connection. It fastens directly to the panelboard bus bars with screws, ensuring a secure, low-resistance contact that is ideal for commercial and industrial environments subject to vibration.
Is the B215HH interchangeable with Siemens Q215HH breakers?
No. While both are 15A, 2-pole breakers with a 65kAIC rating, the B215HH is a bolt-on breaker for commercial P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. The Q215HH is a plug-on breaker designed for residential load centers. They cannot be used interchangeably.
