Description
Built specifically for industrial facilities, this two-pole breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection. Mounts into standard Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards to restore power quickly. This exact replacement eliminates the guesswork of retrofitting the modern HED42B015 substitute into older enclosures. Delivering a robust 100 kAIC rating at 240VAC and 42 kAIC at 480VAC, the unit ensures code-compliant performance for critical commercial infrastructure.Specifications
