Description
Engineered for commercial and industrial environments, the Siemens BE260 delivers reliable 30mA ground-fault equipment protection (GFEP). This 60A, two-pole breaker is designed to protect machinery from line-to-ground faults rather than serving as personnel protection. It mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. Rated at 10 kAIC at 120/240V, it features thermal-magnetic trip technology. This unit is replaced by the B260EG and serves as a substitute for the BLE260.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhich panelboards accept the Siemens BE260 circuit breaker?
The BE260 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the BE260?
This breaker provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip threshold. This 30mA sensitivity is designed to protect equipment, such as heat trace cables or industrial machinery, from damaging line-to-ground faults.
Is the BE260 suitable for personnel ground fault protection?
No. Because it is a GFEP breaker with a 30mA trip level, it is strictly for equipment protection. Personnel protection requires a Class A GFCI breaker with a highly sensitive 5mA trip threshold.
How is the neutral connection configured on the BE260?
This breaker is equipped with a factory-installed pigtail neutral. The pigtail must be securely routed and connected to the panelboard neutral bar for the ground fault sensing circuitry to function correctly.
What wire gauges are compatible with the BE260 terminals?
The load lugs on this 60A breaker accept 6 AWG to 4 AWG wire, and are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
What frame type does the BE260 belong to?
The BE260 is part of the Siemens B-frame family. It is specifically classified as a BLE type breaker, which denotes a bolt-on configuration with integrated ground fault equipment protection.
What specific trip functions are included in the BE260?
The BE260 utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with LIG functions. This provides Long-Time protection against overloads, Instantaneous protection against short circuits, and Ground-Fault protection for equipment safety.

- MGMarvin G.ReviewingSiemens BE250H - 50A GFEP Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1/22/24Cheap Price but check on Shipping
The breaker was a good price but it took 3 days to ship an item that was stock. Do not assume the item will ship the next day as I was told they do not ship until they have enough orders to process. Overall I will buy from them again but I will ask when the item will ship.
