The Siemens B140 is a BL-series bolt-on breaker, designed to install in compatible Siemens/ITE residential and light-commercial loadcentres and panelboards — including EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept bolt-on style breakers. As a 1-pole, 40A, 120V unit with a 10kA interrupting rating, it is suited for both residential branch-circuit and light commercial applications where a bolt-on connection is required.
Not all Siemens panels accept the BL bolt-on series — some are designed exclusively for plug-in (QP) breakers. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm the right fit before you order.
The BL series uses a bolt-on connection to the bus bar, which provides a more mechanically secure attachment — common in commercial panelboards and certain residential loadcentres. The QP series uses a plug-in connection for faster installation in standard residential panels. These two series are not interchangeable, so it's important to match the breaker type to your specific panel's bus design.
Siemens BL-series bolt-on breakers can be difficult to source through standard supply channels, particularly in specific amp ratings like the 40A.

No — breakers must match the panel manufacturer and bus type. The Siemens B140 is designed specifically for Siemens/ITE panels that accept BL bolt-on breakers. Installing a breaker in a panel it was not designed for can create unsafe connections and may violate the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). Always verify the replacement breaker matches your panel's make, series, and bus style.
