Built to deliver robust overcurrent protection, this 60A thermal-magnetic breaker is a core component of the Siemens BL series. It is designed for commercial environments requiring reliable performance and remote tripping via the factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. The unit mounts securely into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards using a standard bolt-on configuration. With a 10kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC, it safely handles fault currents in standard distribution networks.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What panelboards accept the B36000S01 circuit breaker?
This BL series bolt-on breaker mounts directly to the busbars in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It requires a 3-phase configuration and occupies three standard panel spaces.
What does the 00S01 suffix mean on this Siemens breaker?
The 00S01 suffix indicates the breaker is factory-equipped with a 120VAC shunt trip mechanism. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by an external control signal, which is commonly used for emergency power-off stations or fire alarm interlocks.
What are the wire size limits for the lugs on the B36000S01?
The factory-installed load lugs accept copper or aluminum wiring from 6 AWG to 4 AWG. Always refer to the side of the breaker for specific torque values based on the conductor material and size used during installation.
Can I use this Siemens breaker to replace an older ITE B36000S01?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE and produces the exact same BL series bolt-on breakers. This unit is a direct, code-compliant replacement for the legacy ITE branded version.
Is the interrupting rating on this breaker sufficient for commercial facilities?
This standard BL model offers a 10 kAIC short-circuit rating at 240VAC. If your coordination study requires a higher interrupting capacity, you must step up to the BLH series (B360H00S01 for 22 kAIC) or HBL series (B360HH00S01 for 65 kAIC).
Does the B36000S01 provide adjustable trip settings?
No. It uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit providing standard long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection. It does not have adjustable dials for tuning the trip curve.
