BE115– SIEMENS 1P15A 120V BOLT ON GFCI 30mA 10kA BREAKER

Standard North American GFCI receptacles trip at ~5mA, which is suited for personnel protection in typical household outlets. The BE115 uses a 30mA threshold, which is the level specified by the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) for hot tub and spa disconnect applications. At 30mA, it still provides meaningful protection against electric shock while reducing nuisance tripping common in motorized or heating equipment. Always consult the CEC and your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) to confirm the correct GFCI rating for your specific application.

Yes — provided your panel accepts bolt-on BE/BL/BA series breakers, the BE115 installs in the same space as a standard 1-pole bolt-on breaker. Because it includes a built-in GFCI, the neutral pigtail from the breaker must be connected to the panel's neutral bar, in addition to the standard line and load connections. No separate GFCI receptacle or device is needed downstream. If you're unsure whether your panel is bolt-on compatible, contact us with your panel model and we'll verify.

The BE-series bolt-on GFCI breakers can be difficult to locate through general electrical suppliers, particularly in specific amperage and mA configurations. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers across our Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver locations. Whether the BE115 is a current or discontinued part, we can often source it where others cannot — reach out for a quote and we'll check availability for you.
