Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the Siemens E23B015 circuit breaker?
The E23B015 is a bolt-on E-frame breaker designed for use in Siemens P2 and P3 panelboards, as well as legacy ITE panelboards that accept E2 frame breakers.
Can the E23B015 be installed in a 480V system?
No, the E23B015 is rated for a maximum of 240VAC. It is not suitable for 480V or 277/480V commercial applications.
What wire sizes do the factory lugs on the E23B015 accept?
The factory lugs on this 15A breaker accept 14 to 10 AWG copper wire or 12 to 10 AWG aluminum wire.
What does the LI trip function indicate on the E23B015?
The LI designation means this thermal-magnetic breaker features fixed long-time (thermal) overload protection and fixed instantaneous (magnetic) short-circuit protection.
Is the Siemens E23B015 a direct replacement for the ITE E23B015?
Yes, Siemens acquired ITE and continued manufacturing these E-frame breakers. The Siemens E23B015 serves as an exact drop-in replacement for the legacy ITE E23B015.
How does the E23B015 mount into the panelboard?
The E23B015 features a bolt-on connection type, meaning it physically bolts directly to the panelboard bus bars for a secure, high-vibration resistant connection, unlike plug-on alternatives.
