Delivering targeted equipment defense, the Siemens BE215 provides 15A of ground fault equipment protection (GFEP) across two poles. It prevents electrical damage in commercial systems by detecting 30mA leakage currents. Engineered for a bolted connection, this breaker fits perfectly into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is commonly substituted with the newer B215EG catalog number for ongoing maintenance. Operating at 120/240VAC with a 10 kAIC rating, it reliably protects hardware.
Which panelboards accept the Siemens BE215 breaker?
The BE215 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards. It cannot be used in standard plug-on residential load centers.
What is the ground fault trip level for the BE215?
This breaker provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to prevent equipment damage from leakage currents, rather than providing the 5mA Class A personnel protection found in standard GFCI breakers.
What is the direct replacement or alternate catalog number for the BE215?
The BE215 is frequently substituted with the newer Siemens B215EG catalog number for ongoing panel maintenance and upgrades.
How does the BE215 connect to the panel neutral?
It utilizes a pigtail neutral wire. This pigtail must be wired directly to the neutral bar in the panelboard to power the breaker's internal ground fault sensing circuitry.
Can the BE215 be used for personnel protection in wet locations?
No. The BE215 is a GFEP breaker with a 30mA trip level intended strictly for equipment protection. It does not meet the 5mA trip requirement for Class A personnel protection.
