The Siemens BE220 is a bolt-on style 2-pole GFCI breaker from Siemens' BE series, designed to fit Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards and loadcentres — commonly the Siemens/ITE EQ, ES, PL, and PN series panels that accept bolt-on (BA/BL/BE) style breakers. It is not a plug-in breaker and is not interchangeable with QP/QT plug-in panels.
Not sure if your panel takes bolt-on breakers? Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
The 30mA ground-fault trip threshold on the BE220 meets the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requirements for GFCI protection in wet or damp locations — such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoor circuits, and pool/spa equipment. It trips quickly enough to protect against lethal shock while being stable enough to avoid nuisance tripping on 240V loads.
The BE series bolt-on GFCI breakers can be difficult to locate through standard supply channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers — including Siemens bolt-on types. Contact us or visit one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for availability and to request a quote.
Yes — provided your panel accepts BE series bolt-on breakers, the BE220 GFCI installs in the same two-pole bolt-on slot as a standard BE220. No panel modification is needed. Keep in mind the GFCI version includes a neutral pigtail wire that must be connected to the panel's neutral bar. If you're unsure about your panel's compatibility, reach out and we'll help confirm the fit.
