The Siemens B130 is a BL-series bolt-on breaker (1-pole, 30A, 120V, 10kA interrupting capacity) designed to mount in Siemens/ITE bolt-on loadcentres and panelboards — including compatible EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept BL/BA bolt-on breakers. Its bolt-on design distinguishes it from plug-in QP-series breakers, making it the correct choice where a secured, vibration-resistant connection is specified. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm the right fit.
No, BL bolt-on breakers and QP plug-in breakers are not interchangeable. The B130 uses a bolt-on mounting that physically secures the breaker to the bus bar with a screw, whereas QP breakers clip in. Your panelboard must specifically support bolt-on breakers. Check your panel's interior label or contact us with your panel model to confirm which series you need.
A single-pole 30A, 120V breaker like the B130 is typically used for 120V branch circuits — for example, a dedicated circuit for a well pump, freezer, or similar load. A standard electric dryer or water heater usually requires a 2-pole 240V breaker. If you're unsure of the correct breaker for your application, consult a licensed electrician or contact our team for guidance.
