Designed to replace the discontinued BF230A, this 2-pole 30A MCCB provides Class A 5mA ground fault protection. It is ideal for applications requiring GFCI safety. The bolt-on configuration mounts into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards. It features a pigtail neutral connection and accepts 10-6 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. With a 10 kAIC rating at 120/240V, this BL series breaker includes thermal-magnetic trip technology, HACR certification, and an automatic self-test function.
What level of ground fault protection does the Siemens B230GF provide?
This breaker provides Class A ground fault protection [1.2.1]. It is designed to trip when it detects a leakage current of 5mA, ensuring personnel safety against electrical shock hazards.
How is the neutral connection wired for this GFCI breaker?
The B230GF includes a factory-installed pigtail neutral. This coiled wire must be routed and connected to the neutral bus bar within the panelboard to provide the return path required for the internal ground fault sensor to function properly.
Is the Siemens B230GF compatible with older ITE panelboards?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE and retained the original panelboard hardware designs. This breaker is fully backward compatible and serves as a direct replacement for legacy ITE-branded bolt-on GFCI breakers of the same frame size.
Can I use the B230GF to replace a discontinued BF230A breaker?
Yes, the B230GF is the manufacturer-designated, current-production replacement for the obsolete Siemens BF230A bolt-on ground fault circuit breaker.
How is the ground fault protection tested on the B230GF?
Recent revisions of this breaker include an automatic self-test function that continuously monitors the integrity of the ground fault circuitry. It also features a manual test button, which electricians and facility managers should press monthly to verify mechanical operation and safety compliance.
