BE215– SIEMENS 2P15A 240V BOLT ON GFCI 30mA 10kA BREAKER

The BE215 trips at 30mA of ground-fault current, which is the Class A threshold for personnel protection. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires GFCI protection in locations such as bathrooms, garages, outdoor receptacles, kitchens, and other wet or damp areas. The 30mA sensitivity makes this breaker suitable for protecting an entire 240V branch circuit — such as a hot tub, bathroom heater, or pool equipment feed — where a single GFCI breaker at the panel is preferred over individual GFCI receptacles.

Yes, provided your panel accepts bolt-on style breakers (BE/BL/BA series). The BE215 is a direct form-fit replacement for compatible Siemens/ITE bolt-on panels. It is important not to substitute a bolt-on breaker into a plug-in loadcentre or vice versa, as this creates a safety hazard and is not CEC-compliant. If you're unsure of your panel type, share the panel model number with our team and we'll verify compatibility before you order.

Availability of specific GFCI breaker variants can vary, and some older BE-series configurations may be limited in the market. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers across Canada, with counter locations in Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. If the BE215 is not readily available through standard channels, we can source new, surplus, or reconditioned stock. Contact us for a quote and lead-time estimate.
