Built for commercial power distribution, the Siemens HED43B020 is a 20A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. As part of the Sentron ED frame family, it provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection. This bolt-on MCCB is engineered to fit into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It comes equipped with load-side lugs and is replaced by the 3VA5120-6EC31-0AA0. Delivering a 42kAIC rating at 480VAC, this HACR-rated breaker is suitable for reverse feed applications.

Product FAQs
6 answers
Can this breaker replace an older ITE HED43B020?
Yes, Siemens acquired the ITE brand. A modern Siemens HED43B020 is the direct factory replacement for a legacy ITE breaker of the exact same catalog number.
What is the difference between an ED4 and an HED4 circuit breaker?
The H in HED4 stands for high interrupting capacity. While a standard ED4 frame provides standard fault current protection, the HED43B020 is rated for 42 kAIC at 480VAC to handle higher available fault currents in heavy commercial environments.
Which wire sizes and load lugs are required for this 20-amp ED frame breaker?
The breaker accepts 14 to 10 AWG copper wire or 12 to 10 AWG aluminum wire. If field-installing line side lugs or replacing load lugs for a 15 to 25 amp HED4 frame, the SA1E025 lug kit is typically required.
How does the LI trip function operate on this thermal magnetic breaker?
The LI designation means the trip unit uses fixed Long-Time and fixed Instantaneous elements. The thermal Long-Time element protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic Instantaneous element trips the breaker immediately during a short circuit.
Which Siemens panelboards will accept this bolt-on unit?
This ED frame breaker is specifically designed for bolt-on phase connections in Siemens Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards.
Are line and load lugs both included with the HED43B020?
By default, Siemens Sentron ED frame breakers are supplied with load side lugs only. Line side lugs are not included because standard panelboard mounting utilizes the bolt-on phase connection, but line lugs can be added in the field for individual enclosure mounting.
