Product FAQs
8 answersWhat type of panelboards will accept the Siemens BE130H circuit breaker?
The BE130H is a B-frame breaker that features a bolt-on mounting style. It is specifically designed to integrate into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 distribution panelboards.
Can I use the BE130H in a standard residential load center?
No. The BE130H is a B-frame bolt-on breaker intended for commercial and industrial Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. Standard residential load centers typically require plug-on breakers.
What is the difference between a GFEP breaker like the BE130H and a standard GFCI breaker?
GFEP (Ground Fault Equipment Protection) breakers like the BE130H have a 30mA trip threshold designed to protect machinery and heat tracing equipment from low-level faults. Standard GFCI breakers have a 5mA threshold intended for personnel safety.
Does the BE130H provide protection against short circuits and overloads?
Yes. In addition to ground fault equipment protection, it features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LIG) trip functions to protect against standard overloads and short circuits.
What does the H in the BE130H catalog number indicate?
The H designates a high-interrupting rating. The BE130H is rated for 22kAIC at 120V, whereas the standard BE130 version is rated for 10kAIC.
How is the neutral connection made on the BE130H breaker?
This breaker utilizes a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected to the panelboard neutral bus to ensure proper ground fault detection.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the BE130H?
The BE130H comes equipped with standard mechanical lugs that accept 10 to 8 AWG copper wire or 10 to 6 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Is there a newer replacement model for the BE130H?
Yes. For newer installations or panel upgrades, the BE130H crosses over to the Siemens B130EGH catalog number.
