Designed for commercial distribution systems, the Siemens B290H is a Type BLH molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology with long-time and instantaneous functions to provide reliable overcurrent protection. This 2-pole, 90-amp device features a bolt-on mounting style for secure connections. It installs into Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards, making it a versatile choice for facility upgrades. Delivering a 22kAIC rating, it handles higher fault currents.
What is the difference between the Siemens B290 and B290H circuit breakers?
The primary difference is the interrupting rating. The standard B290 is rated for 10kAIC, while the B290H is the high-interrupting version rated for 22kAIC at 120/240VAC.
Which panelboards are compatible with the B290H breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 series commercial panelboards.
Can I install the B290H in a standard Siemens residential load center?

Is the Siemens B290H HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
Can the B290H be reverse fed?
