The Siemens BE240H is a bolt-on style 2-pole GFCI breaker from Siemens' BE series, designed to fit Siemens/ITE bolt-on panelboards — typically the EQ, ES, PL, and PN series loadcentres and commercial panelboards that accept bolt-on breakers. Its 30 mA GFCI trip threshold meets Canadian Electrical Code requirements for personnel protection in wet or high-risk locations, and its 22 kA interrupting rating suits both residential and light commercial installations.
Bolt-on breakers are not interchangeable with plug-in (QP/QT) style Siemens panels — confirm your panel's bus type before ordering. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm fitment.
The BE240H is designed for Siemens/ITE panelboards that use a bolt-on bus configuration, such as EQ, ES, PL, and PN series loadcentres. It is not compatible with Siemens plug-in (QP/QT) panels. If you're unsure of your panel type, send us the model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
A 30 mA trip sensitivity means the breaker will detect and interrupt ground fault currents as low as 30 milliamps — the threshold considered dangerous to personnel. The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) mandates GFCI protection in locations such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor circuits. At 240V/2-pole, this breaker is well-suited for protecting 240V appliances or circuits in those locations.
The BE series bolt-on GFCI breakers can be difficult to source through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, with counter locations in Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. Contact us for current availability and to request a quote.
