Product FAQs
5 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens HB3B070?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens and legacy ITE panelboards (Series 1-5) that accept BQ frame circuit breakers.
Can the Siemens HB3B070 replace an older ITE HB3B070?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE, and the current Siemens HB3B070 is the direct, exact replacement for the legacy ITE HB3B070 circuit breaker.
What is the difference between the Siemens B3B070 and HB3B070?
The difference is the interrupting capacity. The standard B3B070 has an interrupting rating of 10kAIC at 240VAC, whereas the HB3B070 is the high-interrupting version rated at 65kAIC at 240VAC.
Is the HB3B070 breaker HACR rated?
Yes, Siemens BQ and HBQ frame circuit breakers are HACR rated, meaning they are approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
How is the HB3B070 installed in a panelboard?
The HB3B070 is a bolt-on breaker that fastens directly to the buswork of compatible Siemens or ITE panelboards. Always torque the bus connections and load side lugs to the exact specifications printed on the breaker label or panelboard dead front.
