Description
Designed for heavy-duty applications, the Siemens BE220 2-pole ground fault equipment protection breaker delivers essential thermal-magnetic overcurrent defense. It actively monitors circuits for damaging line-to-ground faults to prevent electrical failures. Engineered for a secure connection, this bolt-on unit fits Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It serves as a direct substitute for the B220EG breaker. With a 10kAIC rating at 120/240V, it utilizes a 30mA trip sensitivity threshold.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the BE220?
The BE220 is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip sensitivity. It is designed to protect equipment, such as heat trace cables, from damaging line-to-ground faults, rather than providing the 5mA personnel protection of a standard GFCI.
Which panelboards are compatible with the BE220 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
Is there a plug-on equivalent for the BE220?
Yes, the Siemens QE220 is the plug-on equivalent to the bolt-on BE220. Both are 20A, 2-pole GFEP breakers with a 30mA trip threshold.
What older Siemens breaker does the BE220 replace?
The BE220 serves as a direct replacement for the obsolete Siemens B220EG circuit breaker.
How is the neutral connection wired on this breaker?
The BE220 features a pigtail neutral wire. This pigtail must be securely connected to the neutral bar in the panelboard for the ground fault equipment protection to function correctly.
