The Siemens BE215 is a BL-type molded case circuit breaker designed for panelboard mounting in electrical distribution applications. It features a two-pole configuration, 15 A continuous current rating, 120/240 VAC voltage rating, and ground-fault circuit interrupter protection. A thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides overcurrent protection, while the 10 kA interrupting rating supports dependable fault interruption. The breaker uses a bolt-on electrical connection and complies with UL 489 requirements. Its compact housing measures approximately 6 inches deep, 2 inches high, and 4 inches wide.

What type of electrical component is this?
This is a Siemens low-voltage molded case circuit breaker designed for panelboard mounting and electrical distribution applications.
What is the current rating of this circuit breaker?
The BE215 has a continuous current rating of 15 A.
What voltage rating does this circuit breaker have?
It is rated for use on 120/240 VAC electrical systems.
How many poles does this circuit breaker have?
This model is a two-pole circuit breaker.
Does this circuit breaker provide ground-fault protection?
Yes. It is a GFCI circuit breaker designed to provide ground-fault protection in addition to circuit interruption.
What is the interrupting rating of this circuit breaker?
The circuit breaker has an interrupting rating of 10 kAIC.
What type of mounting connection does it use?
It uses a bolt-on electrical connection for installation in a compatible panelboard.
What trip technology is used?
The circuit breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism to respond to overload and short-circuit conditions.
Which product design does this circuit breaker use?
This component uses Siemens' BL product design and is identified in the product information as a Type BL breaker.
What are the approximate dimensions?
The listed dimensions are approximately 6 inches deep, 2 inches high, and 4 inches wide.
Which standard does this circuit breaker meet?
The product information identifies UL 489 as the applicable standard.
What applications is this circuit breaker intended for?
It is intended for electrical distribution in compatible panelboard installations requiring a 15 A, two-pole, 120/240 VAC GFCI breaker.
Can this circuit breaker be used as a direct replacement?
Replacement suitability depends on the panelboard type, bolt-on connection, number of poles, voltage, current rating, interrupting capacity, and required ground-fault protection. All specifications should be checked against the existing installation.
Is this a plug-in circuit breaker?
No. This model uses a bolt-on connection rather than a plug-in mounting arrangement.
What should be checked before installation?
Confirm panelboard compatibility, a 120/240 VAC system rating, a 15 A circuit requirement, two-pole configuration, bolt-on mounting, 10 kAIC interrupting capacity, and the need for GFCI protection.
