Operating within the Sentron series, the Siemens ED62B040 provides 40A of thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection for commercial facilities. This two-pole molded case circuit breaker ensures consistent performance across a variety of industrial power distribution setups. Installation is straightforward as the breaker bolts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as switchboards. The ED frame unit delivers a 65kAIC interrupting rating at 240VAC and supports reverse feed applications.
Can I install the ED62B040 in a standard residential load center?
No. This is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial enclosures. It mounts directly into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Does the ED62B040 replace legacy I-T-E circuit breakers?
Yes. Siemens retained the Sentron ED frame design after acquiring I-T-E. This unit directly replaces older I-T-E breakers with the same ED62B040 catalog number. It also serves as a replacement for the discontinued EF2B040 legacy E-frame breaker.
What wire sizes are supported by the standard lugs?
The included LN1E100 load side lugs accept 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Is this breaker HACR rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes. The ED62B040 carries an HACR rating, making it compliant for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems requiring this designation.
Can the ED62B040 be used in DC power systems?
Yes. While primarily used in 240V, 480V, and 600V AC systems, this breaker is also rated for 250VDC applications with a 30kA interrupting capacity.
Does this breaker support reverse feed wiring?
Yes. The ED62B040 is rated for reverse feed applications, allowing line power to be connected to either the top or bottom terminals.
Are the trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
No. The ED62B040 features a non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings for long-time and instantaneous protection.
