Product FAQs
9 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the Siemens BF260A?
The BF260A is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards.
Can I install the BF260A in a standard residential load center?
No. The BF260A features a bolt-on mounting style intended for commercial panelboards. Standard residential load centers typically require plug-on breakers, such as the Siemens QPF series, for ground fault protection.
What level of ground fault protection does the BF260A provide?
This breaker provides Class A ground fault protection with a 5mA trip threshold. This sensitivity level is specifically intended for personnel protection against electrical shock in wet or hazardous locations.
How does the LIG trip function on the BF260A protect the circuit?
The LIG designation indicates three layers of protection. It provides Long-Time protection against sustained overloads, Instantaneous protection against sudden short circuits, and Ground-Fault protection to detect leakage current.
How is the neutral connection made on the BF260A?
The BF260A is equipped with a pigtail neutral wire. This pigtail must be securely connected to the neutral bar of the panelboard to power the internal ground fault monitoring circuitry.
What wire sizes are accepted by the BF260A terminals?
The load side lugs on this 60A breaker accept 8 to 6 AWG copper (Cu) conductors or 8 to 4 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors.
Is the BF260A a direct replacement for the older BF260?
Yes, the BF260A serves as a direct drop-in replacement for the discontinued Siemens BF260 model, maintaining the same physical dimensions and bolt-on configuration.
What is the difference between the BF and BLF designations?
The BF260A is part of the BLF family of bolt-on GFCI breakers. Siemens uses the BF prefix for the catalog numbers of breakers that fall under the BLF type classification.
Are the trip settings on the BF260A adjustable?
No, the thermal-magnetic and ground fault trip settings on the BF260A are fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
