Product FAQs
8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B380?
The B380 is a bolt-on branch breaker designed for Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 series panelboards. Always confirm compatibility by checking the wiring diagram or UL label inside your specific panel enclosure.
Is the Siemens B380 an acceptable replacement for older ITE breakers?
Yes, the B380 is the current production replacement for obsolete ITE and Siemens-Allis BL-frame 80A, 3-pole bolt-on breakers. It shares the identical physical dimensions and bus bar connection type.
Is this circuit breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the B380 carries a HACR rating, making it certified for use with Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration equipment that explicitly requires HACR overcurrent protection.
Can the B380 be reverse fed in a panel?
Yes. Because this BL-frame breaker utilizes a fixed, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit, it is suitable for reverse-feed applications according to UL 489 standards.
Can this breaker be used in series-rated systems?
Yes, the B380 can be applied in UL-listed series rated combinations with an upstream main breaker or fuse. This allows it to be installed in systems with available fault currents that exceed its standalone 10kAIC rating. Always reference your panel's series rating chart for approved combinations.
Can the B380 be mounted in any orientation?
Yes, thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breakers like the B380 can be mounted vertically, horizontally, or inverted within the panelboard without affecting their trip characteristics or calibration.
What does the LI trip function on this breaker indicate?
The LI designation means the breaker provides Long-Time (L) protection against thermal overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection against short circuits. Both trip thresholds are fixed and cannot be field-adjusted.
Is the B380 suitable for residential single-phase load centers?
No, the B380 is a 3-pole breaker strictly designed for 3-phase commercial and industrial applications. It will not fit properly or safely into standard single-phase residential load centers.
