Product FAQs
8 answers
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the HHED63M020 breaker?
This bolt-on ED frame breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards, as well as compatible switchboards and motor control centers.
Will the HHED63M020 fit in a standard Siemens residential load center?
No. This is an ED frame bolt-on breaker engineered for commercial and industrial distribution equipment. It will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the HHED63M020?
The standard lugs on this 20A breaker accept 14-10 AWG copper (Cu) or 12-10 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified by the manufacturer.
How is the HHED63M020 installed in a panelboard?
This is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It secures directly to the busbars of compatible Siemens commercial panelboards using mounting screws, providing a robust connection for industrial applications.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the HHED63M020?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions are factory-set for 20A protection and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is the HHED63M020 rated for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 30kA, making it suitable for specific DC control and distribution circuits.
What does the LI trip function indicate on the HHED63M020?
The LI designation means the breaker provides Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. Long-Time protects against sustained overloads, while Instantaneous provides immediate tripping during severe short circuits.
What does the HHED designation mean compared to standard ED breakers?
The HHED designation indicates an Extra High Interrupting Capacity (IC) rating within the Siemens ED frame family. While it shares the same physical footprint as standard ED breakers, it is engineered to safely interrupt higher fault currents, such as 65kA at 480VAC.
