Engineered for heavy-duty power distribution, the Siemens JD2B300 is a 2-pole, 300-amp bolt-on circuit breaker. It delivers a high interrupting capacity of 65kA at 240VAC and 30kA at 250VDC, utilizing a fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip mechanism. This legacy Sentron series J-Frame breaker mounts into compatible Siemens panelboards, switchboards, and enclosures. Equipped with standard lugs, it accommodates (2) 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil conductors. Cross-references to the JD62B300.
What equipment is compatible with the JD2B300 breaker?
This JD frame breaker is designed for installation in Siemens Sentron panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and standalone enclosures.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs?
The load side lugs accommodate two conductors per phase, accepting wire sizes from 3/0 AWG up to 500 kcmil in either copper or aluminum.
Can the trip unit on this JD frame breaker be replaced?
Yes, this model features an interchangeable trip unit. This allows panel builders to swap the trip unit to a different rating in the future without replacing the entire breaker frame.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip function operate?
The thermal overload protection is fixed, but the magnetic instantaneous trip is adjustable. This allows electricians to tune the short-circuit response to properly coordinate with downstream protective devices.
Is there a difference between the ITE and Siemens versions of this breaker?
No. Siemens acquired ITE and continued producing the Sentron series. A breaker labeled ITE JD2B300 is physically and electrically identical to a Siemens JD2B300.
