Designed to maintain aging electrical infrastructure, the Siemens HK3B800 is a high-capacity 800A molded case breaker. It utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology with LI functions to protect industrial systems. This unit-mount breaker installs seamlessly into legacy Siemens SB1, SB2, and SB3 switchboards, as well as P4 and P5 panelboards. It serves as a reliable replacement option, cross-referencing to the newer HMD63B800.
What panelboards and switchboards are compatible with the HK3B800?
This breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, as well as SB1, SB2, and SB3 switchboards.
What wire sizes and types are supported by the lugs on the HK3B800?
The included lugs accept up to three conductors per phase, supporting wire sizes from 1/0 AWG to 500 kcmil. They are rated for use with both copper and aluminum conductors.
How does the trip unit on the HK3B800 operate?
It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element. The adjustable magnetic setting allows you to tune the instantaneous short-circuit response to prevent nuisance tripping from high inrush currents.
Does the HK3B800 include ground fault protection?
No, this breaker is equipped with standard Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It does not provide ground fault protection or electronic LSIG capabilities.
Is the HK3B800 a current production breaker?
The HK3B800 is a legacy molded case circuit breaker from the M Frame group, originally manufactured by ITE and later transitioned to Siemens.
