Product FAQs
4 answers
Can the Siemens HED42B020L replace an older I-T-E breaker with the same catalog number?
Yes. Siemens acquired I-T-E and maintained the Sentron ED frame catalog numbering. The Siemens HED42B020L is a direct replacement for the legacy I-T-E HED42B020L.
What does the L suffix in the HED42B020L catalog number indicate?
The L suffix indicates that the circuit breaker is shipped from the factory with both line and load lugs installed, rather than requiring them to be ordered and installed separately.
How does the HED4 series differ from the standard ED4 series?
The HED4 series is the high interrupting capacity version of the Sentron ED frame. The HED42B020L provides a 42kAIC rating at 480VAC, whereas standard ED4 breakers offer a lower interrupting capacity for standard applications.
Can I swap or upgrade the trip unit on the HED42B020L?
No. Siemens Sentron ED frame circuit breakers, including the HED42B020L, feature a fixed, non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit. The entire breaker must be replaced if a different trip curve or amperage is required.
