Description
Part of the BL series, this 30A single-pole GFCI breaker delivers enhanced personnel protection for commercial and industrial environments. Operating at 120VAC, it continuously monitors for ground faults and interrupts power when leakage exceeds 5mA, ensuring strict NEC compliance. The bolt-on design mounts firmly into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, providing a secure connection for demanding applications.Specifications

Product FAQs
8 answersWhat level of ground fault protection does the BF130AH provide?
The BF130AH provides Class A ground fault protection. It is designed to trip when it detects a ground fault leakage current of 5mA, ensuring personnel safety in compliance with NEC requirements for areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and wet locations.
What does the H in the BF130AH catalog number indicate?
The H indicates a high interrupting rating. While standard BF breakers are rated for 10kAIC at 120V, the BF130AH is rated for 22kAIC, making it suitable for commercial and industrial systems with higher available fault currents.
What does the 22kAIC rating mean for the BF130AH?
The 22kAIC rating means the breaker can safely interrupt up to 22,000 amps of fault current at 120V without sustaining damage. This higher rating is often required in commercial settings where the available fault current exceeds the standard 10kAIC limit.
Can I install the BF130AH in a standard residential load center?
No, the BF130AH is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for Siemens commercial panelboards, such as the P1, P2, and P3 series. It will not fit in standard plug-on residential load centers.
How is the neutral connection wired on the BF130AH?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panelboard neutral bus to ensure the ground fault detection circuitry operates correctly.
Does the BF130AH require a dedicated neutral wire from the load?
Yes, because it is a GFCI breaker, the load neutral must be connected directly to the breaker load neutral terminal, and the breaker pigtail wire must be connected to the panel neutral bus. This allows the breaker to monitor the current balance between the hot and neutral conductors.
What is the plug-on equivalent to the BF130AH for standard residential panels?
For a plug-on equivalent with the same 30A rating, 5mA GFCI protection, and 22kAIC interrupting capacity, you would use the Siemens QF130AH. The BF130AH is strictly for bolt-on commercial panelboards.
Can the BF130AH replace legacy I-T-E breakers?
Yes, Siemens acquired I-T-E, and the BF130AH is a direct replacement for legacy I-T-E BF130AH and B-Frame bolt-on GFCI breakers with the same specifications.
