Built for commercial applications, the Siemens EE1B015 is a 1-pole, 15A molded case circuit breaker. It delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection for branch circuits. This bolt-on MCCB installs into legacy Siemens P1, P2, P3, and older ITE panelboards. It serves as a direct replacement for discontinued systems and is officially replaced by the ED21B015. Rated at 10 kAIC at 120V, it features a non-interchangeable trip unit and is HACR and SWD rated for versatile switching duties.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Siemens EE1B015 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in legacy Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as older ITE panelboards configured for E-frame breakers.
Is the Siemens EE1B015 still manufactured, or is there a direct replacement?
The EE1B015 is a discontinued legacy E-frame breaker. It is officially replaced by the Siemens ED21B015, which provides the same 15-amp, 1-pole configuration and bolt-on mounting for compatible panelboards.
How does the EE1B015 connect to the panelboard bus?
It utilizes a bolt-on connection type, which provides a secure, vibration-resistant mechanical and electrical connection to the panelboard bus compared to plug-on alternatives.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on the EE1B015?
The included load-side lugs accept 14 to 10 AWG copper wire or 12 to 10 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified on the breaker label.
Can the EE1B015 be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, in addition to its standard 10kAIC rating at 120VAC, this breaker is rated for 125VDC applications with an interrupting capacity of 5kAIC.
Is the Siemens EE1B015 suitable for switching lighting and HVAC loads?
Yes, this breaker is SWD (Switching Duty) rated, meaning it is approved for switching 120V fluorescent lighting loads. It is also HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
What safety mechanisms are built into the EE1B015 breaker design?
This breaker features a trip-free mechanism, meaning it will trip under fault conditions even if the handle is physically held in the ON position. It also utilizes a quick-make, quick-break mechanism to minimize arcing during operation.
Does the EE1B015 feature an interchangeable trip unit?
No, this breaker features a non-interchangeable, fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions.
