Which panelboards are compatible with the HE2B050 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as Siemens SB switchboards.
Can I use this breaker to replace an older ITE HE2B050?
Yes, Siemens acquired ITE, and the Siemens HE2B050 is the direct replacement for the legacy ITE version. They share the same physical dimensions and mounting hardware.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The standard lugs accept wire gauges from 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG and are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors.
Can the HE2B050 be used in DC applications?

Are the trip settings adjustable on the HE2B050?
No, this breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous trip functions.
How does the HE2B050 connect to the panelboard?
It utilizes a bolt-on connection to attach directly to the panelboard bus. Ensure you have the correct strap kits if installing in a new section of a P-series panelboard.
What frame family does the HE2B050 belong to?
It is part of the Siemens and legacy ITE E-Frame family, specifically the HE frame type.
What type of protection does the HE2B050 provide?
It provides standard thermal-magnetic protection, utilizing a thermal element for continuous overload protection and a magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection.
