Siemens BE220 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

Siemens BE220 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter is a 20 A, 2-pole molded‑case GFCI breaker built for panelboard and equipment‑protection applications on 120/240 V circuits. This BLE‑type bolt‑on device is designed for panelboard installation and provides ground‑fault protection for equipment circuits, interrupting current on a fault to prevent shock and equipment damage. It employs a thermal/magnetic trip mechanism and carries a 10 kA interrupt rating, ensuring rapid disconnection under short‑circuit or fault conditions. Rated for 120/240 VAC operation, the BE220 is intended to protect feeders and equipment lines in commercial and industrial settings where GFCI protection is mandated by code or safety standards. Typical uses include feeds to motor controllers, distribution panels, and other equipment where protection against ground faults is required. The compact molded‑case design and bolt‑on mounting facilitate retrofit or upgrades within existing Siemens panelboards, and the BLE designation identifies it as part of Siemens' Ground Fault Equipment Protection family. With reliability built into its sector‑specific design, the BE220 provides continuous protection for critical electrical circuits while maintaining ease of installation in standard two‑pole, 240 V systems.
