B215GFH - 15 Amp GFCI Circuit Breaker

B215GFH - 15 Amp GFCI Circuit Breaker

Power up your electrical safety with the Siemens B215GFH – a dependable 2‑pole ground fault circuit interrupter designed to protect people and property in demanding residential and light commercial applications. This breaker combines accurate ground-fault sensing with reliable thermal‑magnetic trip performance to protect circuits up to 120/240 V AC. With a Class A 5 mA GFCI trip threshold, the B215GFH helps detect even slight current imbalances caused by ground faults and quickly shuts off power to prevent shock hazards.

Key Features and Benefits

• Advanced Ground Fault Protection: Detects five mA leakage and interrupts the circuit instantly, helping protect against electric shock.
• Dual‑Pole Safety: Two poles provide reliable protection on 120/240 V circuits commonly used in kitchens, laundry areas, outdoor equipment, and more.
• Thermal‑Magnetic Trip: Offers dependable trip characteristics that respond to overloads and short circuits alike.
• High Interrupt Rating: Capable of handling up to 22 kA interrupting capacity, giving you confidence in environments with higher fault current potential.
