Siemens bf215 a - 15 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Siemens bf215a is a compact, reliable 15A, 240V, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to protect branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. With two hot legs that disconnect together, it delivers clear, decisive protection for 240V circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines temperature-sensitive protection with a fast magnetic trip for stable, repeatable performance across temperature changes and fault conditions.
• Compact molded-case design: maximizes panel space and simplifies wiring, helping you fit more circuits into the same enclosure without crowding.
• 15A, 240V, 2-pole configuration: provides reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for 240V branch circuits while ensuring both conductors trip simultaneously for enhanced safety.
• OEM loadcenter compatibility: designed to pair with matching Siemens panelboards and load centers, ensuring a seamless, dependable replacement or addition to existing installations.
• Targeted protection for varied environments: well suited for residential subpanels, light commercial panels, and small industrial setups where 240V circuits require precise, dependable interruption when faults occur.

Practical use cases and benefits

Use the Siemens bf215a to guard 240V branch circuits powering essential equipment and infrastructure in your system. In a home subpanel, it helps safeguard circuits that feed 240V outlets and appliances, while in a small business or workshop, it protects feeders to equipment and lighting where reliable shutdown on fault is critical. The combination of a compact form factor and a robust thermal-magnetic trip means fewer panel space concerns and consistent protection across varying operating conditions.

Why this design matters

Choosing a molded-case, two-pole 240V breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip means you’re getting both precision and speed: the thermal element handles sustained overloads gracefully, while the magnetic component delivers an instantaneous response to short circuits. That translates to reduced risk of wire insulation damage and equipment failure, helping your electrical system stay safer and more predictable over time.

Install with confidence

For best results, select the Siemens bf215a when your panelboard or load center is designed to accept this type of breaker. It’s a purpose-built solution for ensuring consistent performance in Siemens-controlled installations, so you can upgrade or expand your electrical protection without compatibility concerns.
