Designed to handle commercial power distribution, the Siemens FJ63B100 provides 100 amps of reliable thermal-magnetic protection. This F-Frame bolt-on circuit breaker mounts into legacy I-T-E enclosures, SB switchboards, and modern P1, P2, or P3 panelboards. It features a fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip mechanism, allowing facility managers to fine-tune short-circuit responses. When upgrading infrastructure, the FXD63B100 serves as the recommended modern substitute.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FJ63B100 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as Siemens SB switchboards. It is also backward compatible with legacy I-T-E F-Frame panelboards.
How is the trip unit configured on this FJ6 frame breaker?
It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal protection for overloads and an adjustable magnetic trip setting. This allows electricians to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit response for better system coordination.
Is the FJ63B100 rated for direct current applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Can this breaker replace older I-T-E F-Frame breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired I-T-E and maintained the F-Frame physical dimensions. The FJ63B100 can directly replace legacy I-T-E breakers of the same frame size and specifications in existing enclosures.
What type of wire can be used with the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 6 AWG up to 350 kcmil. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified on the breaker faceplate.
