Description
Engineered for commercial applications, the BF230AH provides reliable Class A ground-fault protection. This 30-amp, two-pole breaker monitors 120/240V circuits to detect dangerous leakage currents as low as 5mA. The bolt-on mounting style ensures a secure connection into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is a direct substitute for the newer B230GFH model. Featuring a robust 22kAIC interrupting rating, this HACR-rated unit includes self-test capabilities to verify proper functionality.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhich Siemens panelboards accept the BF230AH breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards. It is not compatible with standard plug-on residential load centers.
Has the BF230AH been replaced by a newer model?
Yes, Siemens is phasing out the BF230AH. The direct replacement and newer model for this 30A, 2-pole, 22kAIC bolt-on GFCI breaker is the Siemens B230GFH.
Is there a plug-on equivalent to the BF230AH for residential load centers?
Yes. If you need a 30A, 2-pole, 22kAIC GFCI breaker with a plug-on connection instead of bolt-on, the Siemens QF230AH is the correct equivalent.
What is the difference between the BF230A and the BF230AH?
The "H" in the BF230AH catalog number indicates a high-interrupting rating. It provides 22kAIC at 240V, while the standard BF230A offers a 10kAIC rating.
Does the BF230AH provide personnel or equipment ground fault protection?
The BF230AH provides Class A personnel protection. It is designed to trip when it detects ground fault leakage currents as low as 5mA.
How do I install the pigtail neutral on the BF230AH?
The attached white pigtail wire must be routed and secured to the panelboard's neutral bus bar. This connection is required to power the breaker's internal ground fault monitoring circuitry.
