Product FAQs
7 answersWhat types of panels and equipment are compatible with the HEG3B060 breaker?
This EG-frame breaker is designed for use in Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and individual enclosures.
What does the H in the HEG3B060 part number indicate?
The H designates it as a high-interrupting rating breaker within the Siemens EG frame family. It provides a 65kAIC rating at 480VAC, which is higher than the standard NEG frame.
How does the HEG3B060 mount into a panel?
It features a unit-mount, bolt-on connection type. It bolts directly to the bus in compatible Siemens distribution equipment or mounts via screws in standalone enclosures.
Is the Siemens HEG3B060 part of a legacy product line?
Yes, the HEG3B060 is part of the Siemens VL series EG frame. Siemens is transitioning the VL series to the newer 3VA molded case circuit breaker line, though VL breakers are still widely sourced for maintaining existing panels.
Can this breaker be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, the HEG3B060 is rated for DC applications. It provides a 30kA interrupting capacity at both 250VDC and 500VDC, making it suitable for specific industrial DC loads.
Are the trip settings on the HEG3B060 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection, but the trip thresholds cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is the HEG3B060 HACR rated?
Yes, Siemens EG-frame breakers like the HEG3B060 are HACR rated, meaning they are approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
