Part of the Siemens BLEH frame series, the BE215H equipment protection breaker serves commercial and industrial applications. It delivers reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection alongside specialized ground fault detection to safeguard machinery. This bolt-on breaker installs into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It functions as an exact replacement for legacy B215EGH and BLEH215 models. Rated at 22kAIC, it features a 30mA trip sensitivity for dedicated equipment protection.
Can the BE215H be installed in standard plug-on residential load centers?
No. This breaker features a bolt-on connection designed specifically for commercial and industrial Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the BE215H?
As a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker, it is calibrated with a 30mA trip sensitivity to protect machinery and equipment from leakage currents.
Does the BE215H provide personnel shock protection?
No. This is a GFEP breaker with a 30mA threshold for equipment protection. It does not meet the 5mA threshold required for Class A personnel GFCI protection.
What is the difference between the Siemens BE215 and the BE215H?
The H suffix indicates a higher interrupting rating. The BE215H provides a 22kAIC rating at 120/240VAC, while the standard BE215 is rated for 10kAIC.
Are there alternate catalog numbers for the BE215H?
Yes, this breaker is commonly cross-referenced with legacy Siemens catalog numbers B215EGH and BLEH215.
How is the ground fault circuit completed during installation?
The breaker includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be securely terminated at the panelboard neutral bar to enable the ground fault detection circuitry.
