Product Description

The current generation of panelboards from Siemens offers the high level of engineering and
innovation you’ve come to expect from the leader in power distribution technology. The “P Series”
line of panelboards offers a stepped approach to power distribution. (P1-P2-P3-P4-P5)

Flexibility is the hallmark of the P2 panel. This panel offers a wide array of factory-assembled
options to meet virtually any lighting panel application. The ability to mix breaker frames within the
unit space up to 250 amps will also meet certain distribution panel requirements in a much smaller
package.

P2 construction includes the following:

• 250A or 600A max. panel bus ratings in CU or AL
• Standard Circuit P2 Panels from 9” to 45” of unit space with max. 54 neutral connections.
• Extended Circuit P2 Panels with 33-45” of unit space. Total available neutral connections vary by
configuration but some offer over 100 neutral connections.
* P2 Bussing options: Temp rated CU or AL with Tin plating; 750 A/Si AL or 1000 A/Si CU with Tin
plating; Silver Plated CU is available in both above configurations.
**P2 Unit Space starts with 9” (18 circuits of 1-pole breakers) and increases in 6” increments as
needed. Breakers mounted in the unit space can be mixed and matched to meet customer
requirements.

Standards & Certifications:

• NEC: 2020 (where accepted), NEMA PB 1 and ANSI/NEMA PB1.1
• UL Listed: 67, 50 and 50E. (see “Panelboards” File #E2269, and #E4016) Also meets Federal
Specification W-P-115c.
• NFPA 70 compliant (Enclosures are not fire rated).
• Seismically qualified and OSHPD rated (OSP #0078)- see also LVTM-LVSEI-xxxx Seismic Flie

Features Overview

The P2 Series lighting panel features include:

1) Fas-Latch trim (Type 1), is standard but, can be ordered with other popular front styles.
2) Adjustable Interiors with jacking screw system.
3) Neutral Configurations are all located at the Main end of the panel. Both Standard Circuit and
Extended Circuit configurations are available with 56-116 total connections available. Qty and
size varies depending on configuration
4) Unit Space is very Flexible with many Field installable kits that allow changes in the field as
requirements change. BL/BQD kits, 3VA41/xGB kits, QR kits and 3VA52/61/62 kits allow changes
in either 3” or 6” increments.
5) Main Breakers are field replaceable within the original breaker Frame size. Frame types cannot
be changed in the field. Strap kits determine max. amperage breakers allowed.

P2 construction features:
• Either 250A or 600A max. main bus, both Temp Rated and A/Si (Amps per Square inch) Rated bus
are available.
• Up to 600 volts AC with standard Bus bracing up to 200KAIC

Main space:
• 250A max. bus allows for MLO (125A or 250A) and Main Breaker Types BL/BQD, 3VA41/xGB,
QR or 3VA52/61/62 for 100-250A max. panel rating.
• 600A max. bus allow for MLO (max. 400-600A) and Main Breaker Types 3VA53/63 (400A max) or
3VA54/64 (600A max.) See SpeedFax for other Legacy breaker types if needed.

Unit space:
• Strap kits for 1” frame breakers can be mixed in unit space as needed. (Each kit uses 3” of unit
space)
- BL/BQD kits also accept GFCI/AFCI Breakers, BT twin and BPSD surge protection devices.
- 3VA41/xGB kits also accept BSPD surge protection devices
• Strap kits for larger frame breakers require 6” of unit space and are single mount for P2 panels.
- QR kits are 225A max. and 240V max.
- 3VA52/61/62 kits are the most versatile and are 250A max. and 600V max. with many optional
accessories available.

Subfeed space:
a) Feed-Thru Lugs either 250A max or 400-600A max are available.
b) Subfeed Breakers are no longer available in P2 panels since 250A max. branch breakers now fit in
unit space.

Series Connected Short Circuit Ratings

The term “Series Connected Short Circuit Rating” refers to the application of series connected
circuit breakers in a combination that allows some breakers to have lower individual interrupting
ratings than the available fault current.

This is permitted as long as the series combination has been tested and certified by UL. See
Circuit Breaker Section of the SpeedFax.
