Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B215HID?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed for installation in commercial Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential plug-on load centers.
What does the HID suffix mean on this circuit breaker?
The HID designation indicates the breaker is rated for High Intensity Discharge lighting applications. It is engineered to handle the high inrush currents typical of HID lighting systems without nuisance tripping.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time protection for standard overloads and Instantaneous protection for short circuits.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this 15A breaker?
The terminal lugs accept 14 to 10 AWG copper wire or 12 to 10 AWG aluminum wire. Always verify the required torque specifications printed on the breaker before terminating the conductors.
How is the B215HID secured to the panelboard?
It utilizes a bolt-on connection, which fastens directly to the panelboard bus. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant contact suitable for commercial and industrial environments.
What safety precautions are required when installing this breaker?
Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrical professional. Always de-energize the panelboard before bolting the breaker to the bus or terminating the load wires to prevent arc flash and shock hazards.
