SIEMENS BL Series 25 A Breaker
This Siemens BL series miniature circuit breaker is a 25 A, two-pole device rated for 120/240 V AC. It uses a bolt-on mounting style and a toggle actuator for direct installation in compatible load centres. The unit carries a 10 kA interrupting rating at the rated voltage.
Suits Siemens P1 panelboards; not for other panels
Electricians wiring Siemens P1 panelboards will find the bolt-on lug terminals accept 14 AWG copper or 12 AWG aluminium conductors. Installers working with different panelboard series or requiring a plug-on mounting style must select a different breaker family.
10 kA AIR at 120/240 V AC
The maximum ampere interrupting rating of 10 kA at 120/240 V AC is the critical specification that determines whether this breaker can safely clear a fault in the intended circuit. Always verify the available fault current against this rating before installation.

Questions about this item
How do I install the B225 bolt-on breaker into a Siemens P1 panel and what is the common wiring mistake?
Mount the breaker onto the panel bus bars and secure the lug terminals; the step often missed is using 14 AWG copper or 12 AWG aluminium minimum wire size for the 25 A rating.
What maintenance or replacement will the B225 need over its service life?
The breaker is a sealed unit with no user-serviceable parts; replace it if it trips repeatedly, shows contact discoloration, or after a fault exceeds the 10 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 V AC.
What limit appears first when the B225 runs continuously at full load?
The 25 A thermal trip curve opens the circuit before the 10 kA short-circuit rating is reached, so sustained overload is the first protection limit encountered.
