Siemens RHVFBM Variable Depth Rotary Handle Breaker

Product Description

The SIEMENS RHVFBM is a variable depth rotary handle mechanism designed for use with Siemens VL-series molded case circuit breakers. This accessory allows the breaker to be operated via an external rotary handle, enabling on/off switching and lockout capability without direct access to the breaker itself. It is commonly installed in panelboards, motor control enclosures, and disconnect applications where remote or door-mounted operation is required. Licensed electricians and panel installers are the primary trades that work with this component during new construction, retrofits, and equipment upgrades.

The RHVFBM is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where NEC-compliant lockout/tagout provisions are necessary. The variable depth design accommodates different enclosure door thicknesses, making it adaptable across a range of panel and enclosure configurations. It is intended for use with compatible Siemens VL-series breakers in applications where the breaker must be mounted inside an enclosure and operated externally.

Key Features

• Variable depth design accommodates different enclosure door and panel thicknesses
• Rotary handle mechanism allows external operation of the circuit breaker
• Supports lockout/tagout compliance per NEC requirements
• Designed for use with Siemens VL-series molded case circuit breakers

Compatibility

Designed for use with Siemens VL-series molded case circuit breakers. Verify breaker model compatibility with Siemens product documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before beginning any work on the breaker or enclosure. Confirm enclosure door thickness falls within the variable depth range of the handle mechanism before mounting. Do not force the rotary handle into position; improper installation can compromise breaker operation and safety.
